The drawing below shows 3 parking lots that enclose a shopping mall shaped like a right triangle. If Lot A’s perimeter is 40 miles and Lot B’s perimeter is 24 miles, what is the perimeter of Lot C?

The perimeter of lot C is 46.64 miles
Lot C is a square, hence the perimeter of lot C with a length of each side as a miles is:
Perimeter = 4 * length = 4a
40 = 4a
a = 10 miles
Lot B is a square, hence the perimeter of lot B with a length of each side as b miles is:
Perimeter = 4 * length = 4b
24 = 4b
b = 6 miles
Let c represent the length of lot A,, since a, b, c form a right angle triangle. Using Pythagoras theorem:
c² = a² + b²
c² = 10² + 6²
c² = 136
c = 11.66 miles
Perimeter of lot C = 4 * c = 4 * 11.66 = 46.64 miles
The perimeter of lot C is 46.64 miles
