YES
First, we need to determine the length of the third side by using the Pythagorean Theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
20^2 + b^2 = 52^2
400 + b^2 = 2704
b^2 = 2304
b = 48
The perimeter is the sum of the three sides.
20 + 48 + 52 = P
The area is found by using this formula:
A = 1/2 * b * h
A = (1/2) * 20 * 48
A = ________sq. mm.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
20^2 + b^2 = 52^2
400 + b^2 = 2704
b^2 = 2304
b = 48
The perimeter is the sum of the three sides.
20 + 48 + 52 = P
The area is found by using this formula:
A = 1/2 * b * h
A = (1/2) * 20 * 48
A = ________sq. mm.
