correct answer = brainlist
wrong answer = 20 reports

write step by step explanation​

Answer 1

Answer:

22 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let the ∆be ∆abc.

2 sides of a perpendicular ∆= 5cm and 12 cm

therefore, generally the longest side is base

therefore, here 12 is big than 5

so, 12 cm is the measurement of base= bc= 12 cm

therefore, ab= 5cm

so by this the other side of triangle should be 5 too

by this 5+5+12= 10+12=22

=22 cm is the correct ans. for this

but you've given the different options

I hope it's helpful for you
