Answer:

The perimeter will be 30

Explanation:

Perimeter = all side lengths added

Step 1. Determine the length of the triangle

Answer: 5

Step 2. Determine the width of the triangle

Answer: 12

Step 3. Determine the diagonal line across the triangle

Answer + explanation:

For it to figure it out, we must use this method called Pythagorean Theorem

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Where a = 12 b = 5 and c = the diagonal line

12^2 + 5^2 = c^2

144 + 25 = c^2

c^2 = 169

c = 13

The diagonal line measures 13 units

Step 4. Add all of the dimensions we just reviewed

Answer:

Length = 5

Width = 12

Diagonal line = 13

5 + 12 + 13 = perimeter

perimeter = 30

Therefore, the perimeter is 30
