Answer:

B. =35ft

Explanation:

The perimeter of a right angled triangle is a+b+c

which is 9+4+6y+5 =90

collect like terms

9+4+5+6y=90

18 + 6y = 90

6y = 90 - 18

6y= 72

divide both sides by 6

6y/6 = 72/6

y = 12

so therefore, the perimeter of ∆PQR is

9 + 12 + 14

= 35ft

Answer:

SAS

43ft

Explanation:

We know that two sides are equal

PQ = ST and QR = TU and the angle between them is equal Q = T

We can use the SAS (side angle side)

Since the triangles are congruent

PR = SU

6y+5 = 8y

Subtract 6y from each side

6y+5-6y = 8y-6y

5 = 2y

Divide by 2

5/2 = y

2.5 = y

PR = ST = 8y = 8(2.5) =20

The perimeter is 9+14+20 = 43
