OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry for the slopiness

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if you know the lengths of all 3 sides, then just add them all up to get the perimeter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's all?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

perimeter is just the sum of all sides of a figure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do we add 30+30+30

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

think of it as the total length of fence needed to enclose an area

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

two sides are 30, but the third side is 36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 30+30+36

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

96

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
