Question

Find the perimeter of a right triangle whose sides containing the right angle are 6cm and 8cm. What is the perimeter of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

24cm

Step-by-step explanation:

since the sides containing the right triangle are 6cm and 8cm that means the third side is the hypotenuse.

using pythagoras theorem that states that  “In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides"

therefore, 6^2 + 8^2 = (hypotenuse)^2

let hypotenuse = x

36 + 64 = x^2

x^2= 100

x = 10

perimeter 0f a triangle is the sum of all sides of the triangle.

so perimeter = 6 + 8+ 10 = 24cm

hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

perimeter

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 2( l +b )

2 ( 6+ 8)

2(13)

2 multiply by 13
