Find the perimeter and area of a right triangle if the shortest side is 12 mm and the longest side is 37 mm.
Added by Beatriz W.
Step 1
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to do this: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the lengths of the two legs of the triangle, and c is the length of the hypotenuse. In this case, we know that one leg is 12mm and the hypotenuse is 37mm, so we can plug those Show more…
