Answer:

The third side of the triangle is 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the third side of the triangle, since it is a right triangle, we apply the Pythagorean theorem.

The square of the missing side (hypotenuse) is the sum of the square of the given sides (legs).

The missing side is:


\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{3^2+4^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{25} \\ =5 \end{gathered}

The missing side is 5 cm

The perimeter
