Full solution

Q. Julian is creating a stained glass windowpane that will be 7272 centimeters by 2121 centimeters. To make the rectangular windowpane, Julian fuses together two triangles of colored glass. What is the perimeter of one triangle?\newline_____ centimeters
  1. Identify Dimensions: Identify the dimensions of the rectangle formed by the two triangles. The rectangle is 72cm72\,\text{cm} by 21cm21\,\text{cm}.
  2. Calculate Triangle Diagonal: Calculate the length of the diagonal of one triangle, which will be the same as the rectangle's length since the diagonal divides the rectangle into two equal triangles. The diagonal is 72cm72\,\text{cm}.
  3. Calculate Triangle Perimeter: Calculate the perimeter of one triangle. The perimeter PP is the sum of all three sides of the triangle. P=side1+side2+diagonalP = \text{side1} + \text{side2} + \text{diagonal}. Here, side1\text{side1} is 2121 cm, side2\text{side2} is 2121 cm, and the diagonal is 7272 cm.
  4. Add Lengths for Perimeter: Add the lengths of the sides and the diagonal to find the perimeter. P=21cm+21cm+72cmP = 21\,\text{cm} + 21\,\text{cm} + 72\,\text{cm}.
  5. Perform Addition: Perform the addition to find the perimeter. P=21+21+72=114P = 21 + 21 + 72 = 114 cm.
