Answer:
[tex]\huge \boxed{\mathrm{39 \ meters}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the right triangle is required.
The base of the triangle is 7 units.
The height of the triangle is 15 units.
The hypotenuse can be found through Pythagorean theorem.
a² + b² = c²
7² + 15² = c²
49 + 225 = c²
274 = c²
c = [tex]\sqrt{274}[/tex]
Adding all the three sides of the right triangle to get the perimeter.
P = a + b + c
P = 7 + 15 + [tex]\sqrt{274}[/tex]
P = 38.552945...
The perimeter of the right triangle is 39 meters rounded to nearest meter.
