Find the perimeter of a triangle if length is 8 in and width is 5 in.


Sagot :

Perimeter = add all 3 sides

Solution:

Use pythagorean theorem to calculate the missing side (since you only have 2)


If length = 8 in, width = 5 in

Slope would be the missing side which could be calculated by getting the square root of squares of length and width

missing side = squareroot of (8^2 + 5^2) which us the squareroot of 89 as 64 + 25

Therefore slope = 9.43 in

Perimeter = 9.43 + 8 + 5 = 22.43 inches
