A. 6√2 mm
B. 9 mm
C. 9√2 mm
D. 6 + 3√2 mm
An isosceles right triangle MUST be a 90-45-45 triangle. These always have sides in the ratio
√2: 1: 1 where the √2 side is the hypotenuse.
In order for these sides to be in the required ration, given the hypotenuse is 3√2, the other two sides must be 3 millimetres each.
Now, the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the three side lengths,
3 mm + 3 mm + 3√2 mm
= 6 + 3√2 mm which cannot be simplified further.
