Question

Determine the perimeter of the right triangle shown.

24 units
10 units
8 units
6 units

Answer 1

This would be 24 units


I got the question and it was correct

Answer 2

24 units

Explanation:

the length of the 2 legs we can easily determine via the covered side lengths of the unit squares.

leg1 = 8 units

leg2 = 6 units

to get the length of the Hypotenuse, we need to use Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

c being the Hypotenuse, a and b being the legs.

c² = 8² + 6² = 64 + 36 = 100

c = 10 units

therefore, the perimeter of the triangle is

10 + 8 + 6 = 24 units
