The perimeter of the right-angled triangle is 72.7 metres to 1 d.p.

Using trigonometry, we can solve for the perimeter of the right-angled triangle as follows:

Find the length of the hypotenuse using the sine function:

sin(32°) = 16.6 m / hypotenuse

hypotenuse = 16.6 m / sin(32°)

hypotenuse = 31.2 m

Find the length of the other leg using the cosine function:

cos(32°) = 16.6 m / other_leg

other_leg = 16.6 m / cos(32°)

other_leg = 24.9 m

Calculate the perimeter of the triangle by adding the lengths of the three sides:

perimeter = hypotenuse + other_leg + base

perimeter = 31.2 m + 24.9 m + 16.6 m

perimeter = 72.7 m
