Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of other leg [tex]= \sqrt {12^2 - 8^2} \\

= \sqrt {144 -64} \\

= \sqrt {80} \\

= 4\sqrt {5} \\[/tex]

Since, [tex] \sqrt 5[/tex] is an irrational number, hence Perimeter of triangle will also be irrational.

TRUE

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the other side = sqrt ( 12^2 - 8^2)

= sqrt (144 - 64)

= sqrt ( 80) which is irrational so the perimeter is also irrational.

(The sum of a rational number and an irrational is irrational).
