the possible answers are 
50 units
47 units
48 units
46 units

I know the answer is not 46 units. Please helpp. :)

Okay the formula to find the perimeter is 1 / 2 x b x h, if you know the base and the height you take it and times it by 1/2.

anonymous · Answer

So you would take 15*16*1/2=P

anonymous · Answer

That is the formula for the area @ Speedy_Jazz. Since the base is 16 and the height is 15.  You can find the length of the hypotenuse by 8^2 +15^2=c^2, So c=Sq rt (64+225)=Sq rt(289) which is 17.  Then, your perimeter is the sum of the two sides of equal length and the base.  17+17+16=50 units
