Additional Example 1: Using Perimeter

71 = 55 + d

d = 16 in.

P = 22 + 15 + 18 + d

16 = d

Substitute 71 for P.

Find the missing measurement when the perimeter is 71 in.

18 in.

Step 1: Find the length of the third side.

Substitute 12 for a and 20 for c.

A homeowner wants to plant a border of shrubs around her yard that is in the shape of a right triangle. She knows that the length of the shortest side of the yard is 12 feet and the length of the longest side is 20 feet. How long will the border be?

b = 16

a2 + b2 = c2

122 + b2 = 202

144 + b2 = 400b2 = 256

Use the Pythagorean Theorem.

√256 = 16.

Step 2: Find the perimeter of the yard.

Add all sides.

P = a + b + c

= 12 + 20 + 16

= 48

The border will be 48 feet long.

Step 1: Find the length of the third side.

Substitute 38 for a and 32 for b.

A gardener wants to plant a border of flowers around the building that is in the shape of a right triangle. He knows that the length of the shortest sides of the building are 38 feet and 32 feet. How long will the border be?

c ≈ 49.68

a2 + b2 = c2

382 + 322 = c2

1444 + 1024 = c2

2468 = c2

Use the Pythagorean Theorem.

√2468 49.68.

Step 2: Find the perimeter of the yard.

Add all sides.

P = a + b + c

38 + 32 + 49.68

119.68

The border will be about 119.68 feet long.
