Calculate Triangle Perimeter: 3-4-5 Right Triangle Challenge

Find the perimeter of the triangle ABC

To find the perimeter of triangle $\triangle ABC$, we need to sum the lengths of its sides:

• Side $AB = 3$
• Side $BC = 4$
• Side $CA = 5$

Using the formula for the perimeter of a triangle:

$\text{Perimeter} = AB + BC + CA$

Substitute the known values:

$\text{Perimeter} = 3 + 4 + 5$

$\text{Perimeter} = 12$

Thus, the perimeter of triangle $\triangle ABC$ is $\mathbf{12}$.

From the multiple-choice options provided, the correct choice is option 1: 12.
