Question

The measurement of the side of a triangle are 12m, 20m and 27m if all sides are increased by 10% what would be the difference between the perimeter of the initial figure and the new figure

Answer 1

Explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all its sides. The formula for the perimeter of a triangle is given by:

Perimeter = AB + BC + AC

Where AB, BC and AC are the lengths of its sides.

The initial perimeter of the triangle is:

12m + 20m + 27m = 59m

If all sides are increased by 10%, then the new sides would be:

12m + (12m * 0.1) = 13.2m 20m + (20m * 0.1) = 22m 27m + (27m * 0.1) = 29.7m

The new perimeter would be:

13.2m + 22m + 29.7m = 64.9m

The difference between the perimeters of the initial figure and the new figure would be:

64.9 - 59 = 5.9 meters.
