Question 65687: Find the perimeter of the triangle:
I will try to draw out the triangle for you:
4
========================
= =
= =
sqrt5-sqrt3 = =
= =
= =
= = sqrt5 + sqrt3
= =
= =
= =
= =
= =
= =
This problem has completely confused me but here goes nothing:
sqrt 5 - sqrt 3 = sqrt2
sqrt 5 + sqrt 3 = sqrt8
sqrt 2 + sqrt 8 = sqrt 10
sqrt 10 + 4 = sqrt 14
Is this the correct process?

To find the perimeter of any polygon, add all the sides togather:
P=%284%29%2B%28sqrt%285%29-sqrt%283%29%29%2B%28sqrt%285%29%2Bsqrt%283%29%29
P=4%2Bsqrt%285%29%2Bsqrt%285%29-sqrt%283%29%2Bsqrt%283%29
highlight%28P=4%2B2%2Asqrt%285%29%29
Happy Calculating!!!
