Example Question #651 : Plane Geometry

Use the following to answer the question.

Triangle2

Find the perimeter of the triangle.

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.

 

So, in the triangle

Triangle2

we can see the lengths of the sides are 11cm, 12cm, and 6cm.  Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

Example Question #652 : Plane Geometry

Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with a base of 16in.

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 16in.  Because it is an equilateral triangle, all lengths are the same.  Therefore, all lengths are 16in.

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