The right triangle below is formed by squares A, B, and, C. Square A has an area of 64 meters and Square C has an area of 289 square meters. What is the perimeter of Square B?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

60 meters

Explanation:

The area of Square B is the difference of the areas of squares C and A, so is 225 square meters. The side length is √225 = 15 meters, so the sum of the lengths of the four sides is 4·15 = 60 meters.

The perimeter of square B is 60 meters.
