Let's say we have a triangle with sides called a, b, and c, and that b is the base. Our triangle has a height that we'll call h. If a = 11 inches, and b = 3 inches, and c = 11 inches, and h = 10.89 inches, what is the perimeter of this triangle in inches?

I got 25 for my answer, but i'm not completely sure?

yeah its true 
perimeter of any object is sum of all sides so in this case it becomes a+b+c=25

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides or the length of all sides combined
