Question

Accepted Answer

# Explanation:
## Step1: Find the length of the hypotenuse $c$
Use the Pythagorean theorem $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$, where $a = 1$ and $b=5$.
$$
\begin{align*}
c&=\sqrt{1^{2}+5^{2}}\
&=\sqrt{1 + 25}\
&=\sqrt{26}\
&\approx5.1
\end{align*}
$$
## Step2: Calculate the perimeter $P$
The perimeter of a triangle $P=a + b + c$, with $a = 1$, $b = 5$, and $c\approx5.1$.
$$
\begin{align*}
P&=1+5 + 5.1\
&=11.1
\end{align*}
$$

# Answer:
$11.1$
