Answer:

36 units

Explanation:

The short leg is 9 units and the long one is 12 units.

Use pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse, a² + b² = c²

Plug in the numbers: 9² + 12² = c²

81 + 144 = c²

225 = c²

√225 = c

15 = c

Find perimeter by adding all 3 sides: 9 + 12 + 15 = 36 units.

Count the boxes and add the sides and the bottom and that’s the perimeter
