Answer:
The answer is 46
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there is a diagonal, you can't assume that it is the width because if it was the width, it would say so. Since 17 was the measure of the diagonal, I did pythagorean theorem: 15^2 + x^2 = 17^2 --> 225 + x^2 = 289 --> x^2 = 64 --> x = 8. So now we have figured out the width of the rectangle and it's 8. Now we can add: 8 + 8 + 15 + 15 = 46. That is why the answer is 46.
The perimeter of the rectangle 46 feet.
The correct option is (A).
What is perimeter?
Perimeter is the distance around the edge of a shape.
Learn how to find the perimeter by adding up the side lengths of various shapes.
Given : length= 15 feet and diagonal= 17 feet
Since there is a diagonal.
So, using Pythagorean theorem:
H² = P²+B²
15²+ x² = 17²
or, 225 + x² = 289
or, x² = 64
x = ± 8 feet.
Thus, width = 8 feet
Perimeter of rectangle= 2*(l+b)
= 2*(15+8)
= 2*23
=46 feet
