Question

What is the perimeter of the following polygon?
Three sided polygon with height measuring 12 and base measuring 10. The height is a perpendicular bisector of the base.

36 units

44 units

22 units

28 units

Answer 1

You can find the length of the sides by the pythagorean theorem. By looking at one half of the image as a triangle.
\[A ^{2} + B ^{2} = C ^{2}\]

Where A is the height
and B is the base of the triangle (so you'll take half the 10).
And then solve for C
