Respuesta :

This is the concept of perimeter of geometric figures;
We are required to approximate the perimeter of the triangle given if JA=10, AL=23, CK=9
Summing the above measures we get;
10+23+9=42
assuming that this is half the perimeter of the whole triangle then;
perimeter=2*42=84
The answer is A
