Question

Ray is constructing a flowerbed for the zoo and wants to know if he has enough edging. A sketch of the flowerbed is shown below. What is the perimeter of the triangle? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

In the diagram shown in figure, there is a right angle triangle shown.

Two sides are given as 12. We need to find third side.

We could use Pythagorean theorem for this to find the third side.

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

$12^2 + 12^2 = c^2$

$144+144=c^2$

$288=c^2$

taking square root on both sides

$c=16.97$

So, the perimeter will be = $12+12+16.97$

So, the perimeter will be = 40.91

Rounding the answer to nearest whole number = 41 feet

So, the perimeter of triangle is 41 feet.  :   Answer
