Solution
The altitude of a right triangle is 17 cm less than its base. If the hypotenuse is 25 cm, then the perimeter of the triangle is 56 cm.
Explanation:
The legs are 7 cm and 24 cm: they differ by 17 cm and satisfy 72 + 242 = 252. The perimeter is 7 + 24 + 25 = 56 cm; the other options are incorrect totals.
