Answer:

(d) 18 in.

Explanation:

When we're given the three sides of a triangle, one formula we can use for perimeter of a triangle is:

P = s1 + s2 + s3, where

  • P is the perimeter,
  • and s1, s2, and s3 are the three sides:

P = 2 + 6 + 10

P = 8 + 10

P = 18

Thus, the perimeter of the triangle is 18 in.
