Question

1. find the perimeter and area of this triangle. dimensions are in feet. 10 26 24

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the perimeter

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its three sides. The sides are 10, 24, and 26 feet.
Perimeter $= 10 + 24 + 26$
$= 60$ feet

Step2: Calculate the area

This is a right triangle (since $10^2 + 24^2 = 100 + 576 = 676 = 26^2$). The area of a right triangle is $\frac{1}{2} \times$ base $\times$ height. Taking base = 24 and height = 10.
Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times 24 \times 10$
$= 12 \times 10$
$= 120$ square feet

Answer:

Perimeter: 60 feet, Area: 120 square feet
