Question

- A rectangle with sides measuring 12 cm x 16 cm has a

diagonal drawn in it. What is the perimeter of each of
the resulting congruent triangles?

Answer 1

48cm

Explanation:

Given data

Dimension

12cmx16cm

Before we can get the perimeter of the resulting triangles

let us find the length of the diagonal

Diagonal

D^2= 12^2+ 16^2

D^2= 144+256

D^2= 400

D=√400

D=20cm

Hence the diagonal is 20cm

Therefore the perimeter of each triangle is

=12+16+20

=48cm
