Using the Pythagorean Theorem, the perimeter of the triangle is of 58.7 cm.
The Pythagorean Theorem relates the length of the legs [tex]l_1[/tex] and [tex]l_2[/tex] of a right triangle with the length of the hypotenuse h, according to the following equation:
[tex]h^2 = l_1^2 + l_2^2[/tex]
From your description, I will suppose that the legs are of 6 cm and 26 cm, hence the hypotenuse is:
[tex]h^2 = 6^2 + 26^2[/tex]
[tex]h = \sqrt{6^2 + 26^2}[/tex]
h = 26.7.
The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the three sides, hence:
P = 26.7 + 26 + 6 = 58.7 cm.
