A flower garden is in the shape of a right triangle. One leg of the triangle is 6 ft long and the hypotenuse is 10 ft long. If tulips can be planted every foot, how many tulips would the gardener put around the perimeter of the garden?

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem we know

h^2=x^2+y^2

We can find the missing side

x^2=h^2-y^2, we know h=10 and y=6 so

x^2=100-36

x^2=64

x=8

So the perimeter is 10+6+8=24

So 24 tulips can be placed around the perimeter.
