Suppose a certain triangle has three sides of lengths 8, 10, and 12. What is the triangle's perimeter?

The correct answer is: 28

The perimeter of a triangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all three sides. In this case, the lengths of the three sides are 8, 10, and 12. By adding these lengths together, we get a perimeter of 30. This means that option A is incorrect because it is equal to 30, which is the sum of all three sides. Option B is incorrect because it is less than the sum of all three sides, indicating that one of the sides is shorter than 8. Option C is incorrect because it is less than the sum of all three sides, indicating that one of the sides is shorter than 10. Option D is the correct answer because it is equal to the sum of all three sides, indicating that all three sides are correctly represented by the given lengths.
