Find the perimeter of the rectangle

A. 46
B. 136
C. 23
D. 25

Answer 1

A.46

Explanation:

• rectangle divided in two by the diagonal, we find the missing side (x) with Pythagoras

x² = 17² - 8²

x² = 289 - 64

x² = 225

x = √225

x = 15in

• now we have all the sides and we add them to find the perimeter

8 + 15 + 8 + 15 =

46in
