Question

Qadaria is planting a flower garden in the shape of a right triangle in the back corner of her yard. The two sides shown are 7 feet and 8 feet. She would like to put a small fence around the garden, what is the approximate length, in feet, of the fence?

Answer 1

first find the length of the hypotenuse,

a²+b²=c²

7²+8²=113

√113=10.63

perimeter=sum of all sides

10.63+7+8

=25.63
