    Question

    In a right-angled triangle, the legs are in the ratio

    3:4, and the hypotenuse is 25 cm. Find the perimeter of the triangle.
    A 40 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 52 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 54 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the legs of the triangle be 3x and 4x, and the hypotenuse is 25 cm. By Pythagoras’ theorem: (3x)² + (4x)² = 25² 9x² + 16x² = 625 25x² = 625 x² = 25 x = 5. Therefore, the lengths of the legs are 3x = 15 cm and 4x = 20 cm. The perimeter of the triangle = 15 + 20 + 25 = 60 cm.
