Answer: 60

Explanation:

You have to use Pythagorean Theorem because the other side is not listed of the triangle

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

a² + 20² = 25²

a² + 400 = 625

625-400 = a²

a² = 225

Find the square root of 225 to find the missing length


√(225) = 15 (this is the missing length for QS

To find the perimeter, add all the sides...

15 + 20 +25 = 60
