To calculate the perimeter of a right triangle, which is the sum of the lengths of its three sides, we need to know the lengths of the two legs and the hypotenuse. Let's call the legs of the right triangle a and b, and the hypotenuse c. The Pythagorean theorem states that:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
If we know the lengths of any two sides of the right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the third side.
Once we know the lengths of all three sides, we can add them together to get the perimeter of the right triangle.
So, to calculate the perimeter of Juan's garden, we need to know the lengths of the legs and the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
If we know the lengths of the legs, we can simply add them together and then add the length of the hypotenuse to get the perimeter.
If we know the length of the hypotenuse and one leg, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the other leg, and then add all three lengths together to get the perimeter.
If we know the lengths of both legs, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse, and then add all three lengths together to get the perimeter.
