can you double check this question. The perimeter cannot be 12 inches when the hypotenuse is already 20"long

Something is wrong with this problem. The perimeter, which you said is 12 inches, is defined
as the sum of the sides of this triangle. But one side is 7 inches and the other side is
20 inches. That means that those two sides add up to be bigger than the perimeter without
even adding in the third side. That cannot be.

You will need to clarify this problem and repost.
