6. Additional Example 3: Multi-Step Application Find the length of the third side of the triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem. Substitute 12 for a and 20 for c. Course 3 8-2 Perimeter and Area of Triangles and Trapezoids A homeowner wants to plant a border of shrubs around her yard that is in the shape of a right triangle. She knows that the length of the shortest side of the yard is 12 feet and the length of the longest side is 20 feet. How long will the border be? √256 = 16. b = 16 a 2 + b 2 = c 2 12 2 + b 2 = 20 2 144 + b 2 = 400 b 2 = 256

7. Additional Example 3 Continued Find the perimeter of the yard. Add all sides. Course 3 8-2 Perimeter and Area of Triangles and Trapezoids P = a + b + c = 12 + 20 + 16 = 48 The border will be 48 feet long.
