The tile along the edge of a triangular community pool needs to be replaced. A right triangles, where the hypotenuse is labeled 8 x squared, the height is labeled 4 x squared + 15, and the base is labeled 8 x + 10. Which expression represents the total perimeter of the pool edge? 12x2 + 15 20x2 + 25 12x2 + 8x + 25 24x2 + 16x + 50

Answer:

C. 12x² + 8x + 25

Explanation:

A. 12x² + 15

B. 20x² + 25

C. 12x² + 8x + 25

D. 24x² + 16x + 50

Hypotenuse = 8x²

Height = 4x² + 15

Base = 8x + 10

Perimeter of the triangle = hypotenuse + height + base

= 8x² + (4x² + 15) + (8x + 10)

= 8x² + 4x² + 15 + 8x + 10

Perimeter of the triangle = 12x² + 8x + 25

C. 12x² + 8x + 25
