Shannon Owen · Answer 1

To find the perimeter of a triangle, you can use the formula P = a + b + c. 2.24 would be a, 3.56 would be b, and 4.50 would be c. Then, you add up the terms and get your perimeter: 10.3

Escobar · Answer 2

The perimeter would be 10.3 because when you add all the numbers you get 10.30 but since the lowest number of sig figs from all the numbers is 3, the answer would be 10.3 (3 sig figs)
