    Carl's Triangle has dimensions of Base/opposite = 4 and Height/Adjacent = 3. Diagonal/Hypotenuse = x. Using the Pythagorean theorem X^2 = Base^2 + Height^2.

    Thus X = Sqrt√ (B^2 + Height^2)

    X = √ (4^2+3^)

    X = √ (16+9)

    X = ✓ (25)

    X=5

    Perimeter of Triangle = 5+4+3 = 12 inch.
