A right-angled triangle has sides of 6 cm and 8 cm. What is its perimeter ?
24 cm
In a right-angled triangle, if the two legs are \(6\) cm and \(8\) cm, the hypotenuse is found using the Pythagorean theorem.
The hypotenuse is \(\sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10\) cm.
The perimeter is the sum of all three sides: \(6 + 8 + 10 = 24\) cm.
Hence, the perimeter of the triangle is 24 cm.
