Find the perimeter of a right angle triangle whose sides have sizes of 5 cm and 12 cm.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
We know that,
According to the pythagoras theorem =
H2 = B2 + P2
Let B = 5 and P = 12
Then the H =
H2 = 52 + 122
H2 = 25 + 144 = 169
H = \(\sqrt {169}\) = 13
So the perimeter of this triangle = 13 + 12 + 5 = 30cm
