The two bigger sides measure 6 units according to the image and the smallest on 3 units.

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the sides:

6 + 6 + 3 = 15

The answer is the third option, closest one to 15 units.


Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Answer


14.8 units



Explanations

First find the lengths of the triangle.

YX = √(2²+5²) = √(4+25) =√29

YZ = √(2²+3²) = √(4+9) = √13

XZ = √(5²+3²) =√(25+9) = √34


Perimeter = √29 + √13 + √34

= 14.82 units
