What is the minimum possible perimeter of a triangle two of whose sides are along the x- and y-axes and such that the third contains the point (1,1)?

Here's what I think :

 

This will be a right triangle with legs = 2  and hypotenuse = 2sqrt (2)

 

Minimum perimeter =   2 + 2 + 2sqrt (2) =   4 + 2sqt (2)
