Question

To the nearest unit, what is the perimeter of triangle abc?

6 units
8 units
14 units
16 units

Answer 1

I'd go with 8 units because it's not 6 units but more than that amount after I checked it over.

Answer 2

The perimeter of triangle ABC to the nearest unit is:

14 units

Explanation:

We know that the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of length of all the sides of a triangle.

In the following triangle we have:

Perimeter ABC=AB+BC+CA

We are given AB=3 units , BC=5 units and
`CA=√(34)=5.831\ unit`

Hence, the perimeter of triangle ABC is:

`Perimeter=3+5+5.831\\\\\\Perimeter=13.831`

Hence, to the nearest unit we get:

Perimeter is: 14 units.
