Question

What is the maximum length of the perimeter if the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 5 m long?
a. 8.99m
b.15.09m
c. 20.09m
d. 12.08m

Answer 1

square of hypotenuse = sum of squares of other two sides in a right triangle.
The most perimeter in this case will be when the other two sides have same length whose sum of squares add up to 25. So, I am getting the answer to be D. That gives the three sides to be 5, 3.54 and 3.54

Answer 2

5+ 3.54 +3.54=12.08 minimum length

Answer 3

ops sorrry maximum length

Answer 4

Yes.
