2) Option D is correct. If two perpendicular sides of a right-angled triangle are 5 cm and 12 cm, its perimeter will be 30cm.
3) None of the given options are correct. If an article is purchased for 7,500 and sold for 8,400, the profit percentage will be 12%
2) A right-angled triangle is a triangle with three sides and one of its angles is 90degrees. Find the image of a right-angled triangle attached below.
The triangle consists of 3 sides which are:
- The opposite side
- The adjacent side
- The hypotenuse side
Before we can get the perimeter of the right triangle, we need to get the third side first (the hypotenuse side) using the Pythagoras theorem. According to the theorem:
[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]
Given
a = 5 cm
b =12 cm
[tex]c^2=5^2+12^2\\c^2=25+144\\c^2=169\\c=\sqrt{169}\\c=13 cm[/tex]
Perimeter of the right triangle = a + b + c
Perimeter of the right triangle = 5 cm + 12 cm + 13 cm
Perimeter of the right triangle = 30 cm
Hence the perimeter of the right triangle is 30 cm.
3) If an article is purchased for 7,500, then;
If the same article is sold for 8,400, then:
- Selling price (S.P) = 8,400
[tex]\% profit=\frac{SP-CP}{CP} \times 100[/tex]
Substitute the given parameters
[tex]\% profit=\frac{8400-7500}{7500} \times 100\\\%profit=\frac{900}{7500} \times 100 \\\%profit=\frac{900}{75}\\\% profit = 12 \%[/tex]
This shows that the profit percent is 12%
