To the nearest unit, what is the perimeter of triangle abc?
6 units
8 units
14 units
16 units

I'd go with 8 units because it's not 6 units but more than that amount after I checked it over.
The perimeter of triangle ABC to the nearest unit is:
14 units
We know that the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of length of all the sides of a triangle.
In the following triangle we have:
Perimeter ABC=AB+BC+CA
We are given AB=3 units , BC=5 units and [tex]CA=\sqrt{34}=5.831\ unit[/tex]
Hence, the perimeter of triangle ABC is:
[tex]Perimeter=3+5+5.831\\\\\\Perimeter=13.831[/tex]
Hence, to the nearest unit we get:
Perimeter is: 14 units.
