Answer:
Highest Possible Perimeter = 52cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle is not shown. But, the question can still be solved.
The given sides (5cm,12cm and 13cm) of the triangle shows that the triangle is a right angled triangle as proven below:.
[tex]13\² = 5\² + 12\²[/tex]
[tex]169 = 25 + 144[/tex]
[tex]169 = 169[/tex]
Having shown that;
The next step is to determine the highest possible value of the perimeter.
To get the highest possible perimeter;
The 4 triangles have to be joined at the 12cm and 5cm part of each triangle (see attachment).
From the attachment, the perimeter is then calculated as:
Perimeter = 13cm + 13cm + 13cm+ 13cm
Perimeter = 52 cm
