Question

Find the perimeter of a triangle that has the side lengths given below.6cm, 7 Square root of 3, square root of 27

Answer 1

`6+10√(3)\quad`

1) Since Perimeter is by definition the sum of all side lengths of a polygon, we can write out the following:

`\begin{gathered} 6,7√(3),√(27) \\ P=6+7√(3)+3√(3) \\ P=6+10√(3)\quad \end{gathered}`

2) Note that we could simplify the square root of 27.
