Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we are dealing with a right triangle. Look at the legs given to us, 30m and 40m. That looks familiar doesn't it? In fact, this quite resembles the 3-4-5 special right triangle.

We can simply scale the legs by 10 to find the last side of the triangle.

[tex]3*10=30\\4*10=40[/tex]

and therefore, the last side of the right triangle must be:

[tex]5*10=50[/tex]

Great! Now we have all the sides of the right triangle. We just have to add them up:

[tex]30+40+50=120[/tex]

Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle is 120m. A.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
