@surjithayer plz help

anonymous · Answer

it asks for the perimeter of the triangle.

spring98 · Answer

yes and i counted out 12 but there is no 12 on the answer choices

anonymous · Answer

since it's a right triangle you know that to get the hypotenuse its going to be $$c = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$$  then you'll just add the straight line distances

anonymous · Answer

|dw:1444533148669:dw|

anonymous · Answer

or you could say $$P = A + B + \sqrt{A^2+B^2}$$  where A and B are the straight  lines
