The following shape is made by cutting an equilateral triangle from a rectangle. Find its perimeterLength=7.2cmwidth=13cm
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Perimeter of triangle = 35.06 cm Step-by-step explanation:The missing side is Diagonal in the rectangle which is know hypotenuse. so other two sides 7.2 cm and 13 cm and hypotenuse =?according to Pythagoras theorem c² = a² +b² while c = hypotenuse c² = 7.2² + 13 ² c² = 51.84 + 169 c² = 220.84c = 14.86 so hypotenuse is 14.86 cm now for perimeter of a triangle Perimeter of triangle = sum of all sides = a+ b +c = 7.2 +13 + 14.86 Perimeter of triangle = 35.06 cm please mark me as brainliest :D
