Can you explain please?

anonymous · Answer

the perimeter is the length of the entire outside of the triangle, if you draw it out and label everything it's clear that what you need to do is add up the three given lengths

anonymous · Answer

12+10+14=36

anonymous · Answer

So DEF is the same triangle as ABC?

Ok well you said nothing about triangle DEF so there is clearly not enough information given to solve your problem.

Thats what my teacher gave me.... maybe its a typo or something?

anonymous · Answer

most likely. if it says nothing about it and there is no triangle DEF you obviously can't do anything
