A. Perimeter: 10.1 m; Area: 16.2 m²
B. Perimeter: 16.2 m; Area: 10.1 m²
C. Perimeter: 10.1 m; Area: 12.7 m²

Answer :

The answer is B. perimeter: 16.2; area 10.1 m2

Answer:

top option

Step-by-step explanation:

Since A=1/2 (b) (h) then: 5.4 x 4.7 /2=12.69 or 12.7; P= a+b+c P= 5.4 x 3 =16.2 . It is an equilateral triangle meaning all the sides are equal.

so; P= 16.2 m & A= 12.7 m2
