Question

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!! i would really appreciate your help!

the perimeter of the right triangle is ___ cm

Answer 1

Explanation:

Use a^2 + b^2 = c^2 to get the third side.

a = 12

b = ?

c = 37

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

144 + b^2 = 37^2

144 + b^2 = 1369 Subtract 144 from both sides.

-144 -144

b^2 = 1225 Take the square root of both sides

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(1225)

b = 35

Perimeter = a + b + c

Perimeter = 12 + 35 + 37

Perimeter = 84
