Question

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 24.45 cm. What is s, the length of each side of the triangle?

Answer 1

8.15 cm

Explanation:

An equilateral triangle has three equal sides.

Since the length of a side is s and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the three sides,

3s= 24.45 cm

Divide both sides by 3:

s= 24.45 ÷3

s= 8.15 cm
