Question

Please help if you can ik it is Pythagorean theorem

Answer 1

Explanation:

A = (1/2)bh ---> h = 2A/b = 2(12 cm^2)/(5 cm) = 4.80 cm

---> x^2 = h^2 + (b/2)^2

= (4.8 cm)^2 + (2.5)^2

= 23.04 cm^2 + 6.25 cm^2

or x = 5.41 cm

Therefore, the perimeter P is

P = 2x + b = 2(5.41 cm) + 5 cm = 15.8 cm
