Answer:

≈ 35,3 m

Explanation:

First we need to find the third side of the right-angled triangle by the Pythagorean theorem:


{16}^(2) + {3}^(2) = 265


265 > 0


the \: third \: side \: is \: √(265)

And now we can find the perimeter:

P = 16 + 3 + √265 ≈35,3 (m)

Explanation:

For a RIGHT triangle, you can use Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length of the hypotenuse:

Hypotenuse^2 = leg1 ^2 + leg2 ^2

Hypotenuse^2 = 3^2 + 16 ^2

Hypotenuse ^2 = 265 sqrt both sides

hypotenuse = 16.3 m

Now the perimeter is just all three sides added together:

3 + 16 + 16.3 = 35.3 m
