Question

Calculate the perimeter of the triangle shownA) 36 feetB) 29 feetC) 23 feetD) 20 feet

Answer 1

Given:

Find-: Perimeter of the triangle.

Sol:

The perimeter of the triangle is:

If the sides of a triangle are AB, BC and AC, so the perimeter of the triangle is:

`\text{ Perimeter = AB + BC + AC}`

So the perimeter of the given triangle is:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Perimeter =7+16+13} \\ \\ =7+16+13 \\ \\ =20+16 \\ \\ =36 \end{gathered}`

So perimeter of the triangle is 36 feet.
