Let AB and BC be 15 cm and 20 cm respectively

According to the question

By Pythagoras theorem,

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

⇒ AC2 = (152 + 202)

⇒ AC2 = (225 + 400)

⇒ AC2 = 625

⇒ AC = 25 cm

Now,

Perimeter of right-angled triangle = (AB + BC + AC)

⇒ (15 + 20 + 25) cm

⇒ 60 cm

∴ The required perimeter is 60 cm
