9-2 Perimeter and Area of Triangles and Trapezoids
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.
22 in.
15 in.
Subtract 55 from both sides.

58 = 49 + d
d = 9 in.
P = 28 + 7 + 14 + d
9 = d
Substitute 58 for P.
Find the missing measurement when the perimeter is 58 in.
14 in.
28 in.
7 in.
Subtract 49 from both sides.

Additional Example 2: Multi-Step Application
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.
