Example Question #71 : Triangles

Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with a side of length 13cm.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a triangle, we use the following formula:

where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle.  

 

So, given the triangle mentioned above, we know that it is an equilateral triangle.  Because it is an equilateral triangle, we know that all the sides are equal.  The problem says one side is 13cm.  Therefore all sides are 13cm.  Knowing that, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

Example Question #21 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Triangle

Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with a base of 8 inches.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a triangle, we use the following formula:

where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle.

 

We know the length of the base of the triangle is 8 inches.  Because it is an equilateral triangle, we also know that all sides are equal.  Therefore, all sides are 8 inches.  Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

Example Question #31 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Triangle

 Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with a base of 12 cm.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a triangle, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle

 

Now, we know the base of the triangle is 12cm.  Because it is an equilateral triangle, we know that all the sides are equal.  In other words, all sides are 12cm.  Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

Example Question #351 : Plane Geometry

Use the following to answer the question.

Triangle1

Find the perimeter.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a triangle, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle

 

Now, given the triangle

Triangle1

we can see it has sides with lengths of 9 inches, 3 inches, and 10 inches.  Knowing all of this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

Example Question #31 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Triangle

What is the perimeter of an isosceles triangle with a base of  and a side length of ?

Possible Answers:

Cannot determine

Correct answer:

Explanation:

An isosceles triangle has a set of equal sides so the base is  and the other two will be  apiece.  

The perimeter is all three sides added up so the perimeter will be 

Example Question #31 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Triangle

Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with a base of length 9 feet.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a triangle, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle.

 

Now, we know the base of the triangle has a length of 9 feet.  Because it is an equilateral triangle, we know that all sides are equal.  This means that all sides are 9 feet.  Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

Example Question #354 : Plane Geometry

Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with a base of 4 feet.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a triangle, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle.


Now, we know the base of the triangle is 4 feet.  Because it is an equilateral triangle, we know that all sides are equal.  Therefore, all sides are 4 feet.  Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

Example Question #355 : Plane Geometry

Use the following equilateral triangle to answer the question:

Triangle4

Find the perimeter.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a triangle, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle. 

 

Now, let's look at the equilateral triangle.

Triangle4

We can see that one side has a length of 4ft.  Because it is an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal.  Therefore, all sides are 4ft.

Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

Example Question #356 : Plane Geometry

Use the following triangle to solve the problem:

Triangle1

Find the perimeter.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a triangle, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle.

 

Now, let's look at the triangle.

Triangle1

We can see the lengths of the sides are 9in, 3in, and 10in.  

Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get
