Question

Find the area and perimeter of the triangle below. Select the two answers that apply and round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

A = 12.5 and P = 16.2

Explanation:

A = 5 x 5/ 2

A = 12.5

To find right hypotenuse

= √25 + 9 = √34

To find right hypotenuse

= √25 + 4 = √29

P = 5 + √34 + √29

P = 5 + 5.8 + 5.3

P = 16.1 (roughly 16.2)

Answer 2

P = 16.2

A = 12.5

Good luck!
