The perimeter of a triangle formed by points \( (\mathbf{0}, \mathbf{0}),(\mathbf{6}, \mathbf{0}),(\mathbf{0}, \mathbf{6}) \) is

  • A. \( 6(2+\sqrt{2}) \) units
  • B. \( 2+\sqrt{2} \) units
  • C. \( 6 \sqrt{2} \) units
  • D. None of the above

Step-by-step solution

The triangle has vertices at (0,0), (6,0), and (0,6). Side lengths: between (0,0) and (6,0) is 6, between (0,0) and (0,6) is 6, and between (6,0) and (0,6) is √((6-0)^2+(0-6)^2)=√72=6√2. Perimeter = 6+6+6√2 = 12+6√2 = 6(2+√2).
