23.7in is correct for sure!

The required perimeter of the triangle is 23.7 inches.

How to calculate the perimeter?

Consider the provided measure 30,60, and 90

The ratio of sides in 30-60-90 is:

The side opposite to the 30° angle is x

The side opposite to the 60° angle is x × √3

The side opposite to the 90° angle is 2x

The hypotenuse of the triangle measures 10 inches.

The side opposite the 90° is known as the hypotenuse.

Thus, the side opposite the 30° angle is 5 inches. The side opposite to the 60° angle is x × √3  = 5×√3 = 8.7 inches

The perimeter is the sum of all sides:

= 5+10+8.7=23.7 inches

Hence, the required perimeter is 23.7 inches.
