Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides of the triangle , that is

3x + 2x + 6 + 6x - 3 ( simplify by collecting like terms )

= 11x + 3

Given the perimeter = 36 units , then

11x + 3 = 36 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

11x = 33 ( divide both sides by 11 )

x = 3

Then

base = 2x + 6 = 2(3) + 6 = 6 + 6 = 12 units

height = 3x = 3(3) = 9 units

hypotenuse = 6x - 3 = 6(3) - 3 = 18 - 3 = 15 units
