What is the perimeter of a triangle with sides 5 and 4 that has the maximum possible area?	Choose the correct choice: A) 9 + 3√2 B) 9 + √41 C) 16 D) 9 + √37 E) 9 + 3√6
We can maximize the area of the triangle by making these two sides the base and the height of a right angle triangle. Then the third side is the hypotenuse with a length of √(25+16)=
