24 + 8: Square root 3
The hypotenuse of a 30°–60°–90° triangle is twice the length of the shorter leg. Therefore, the shorter leg is 8, and the longer leg is 8 times the square root of 3.
The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of all three sides, so it would be 8 + 16 + 8 square root 3, which simplifies to 24 + 8 square root 3.
