Answer:
Answer : 34 m
Step-by-step explanation:
One side = 12 m
Another side = x
Diagnol = 13
According to Pythagoras theorm
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 Accordingly
12^2 + x^2 = 13^2
144 + x^2 = 169
x^2 = 169 - 144
x^2 = 25
x = root of 25
x = 5
So :
First side = 12 m
Second side = 5 m
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( a + b ) = 2 ( 12 + 5 ) = 2 ( 17 ) = 34 m is the correct answer for your question

Step-by-step explanation:
in right △ ABC,
AC2=BC2+AB2 …[Pythagoras’s Theorem]
BC=AC2−AB2−−−−−−−−−−√
BC=132−122−−−−−−−−√
BC=169−144−−−−−−−−√
BC=25−−√
BC=5 m
P=2(l+b)
P=2(AB+BC)
P=2(12+5)
P=2(17)
P=34 m
