How do you find the perimeter of a right triangle?
The perimeter of a right triangle means the sum of its boundary of all three sides
Answer: Perimeter of a right triangle is a + b + \(\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\)
Let's understand the usage of Pythagoras theorem to find the dimensions of the right-angled triangle
Explanation:
Let 'a' be the length of the base and 'b' be the length of the height or perpendicular of a right triangle.
the hypotenuse is given by \(\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\)
We know that,
Perimeter = Sum of all the three sides
= Base + Height + Hypotenuse
So, Perimeter of Right Triangle = a + b + \(\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\)
Hence, the perimeter of a right triangle is a + b + \(\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\)
