Example Question #53 : Triangles
Find the perimeter of an equilateral triange whose side length is 8.
To find perimeter of an equilateral triangle, simply multiply the side length by 3. Thus,
Example Question #54 : Triangles
Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle whose side length is 6.
To find perimeter of an equliateral triangle, simply multiply the side length by 3. Thus,
Example Question #55 : Triangles
Which shape has only sides?
Hexagon
Square
Triangle
Cube
Pentagon
Triangle
A triangle has sides.
Example Question #56 : Triangles
Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle whose side length is 9.
To solve, simply use the following formula for the perimeter of an equilateral triangle. Thus,
Example Question #54 : Triangles
What shape has only angles?
Cube
Hexagon
Square
Pentagon
Triangle
Triangle
A triangle is the only shape with angles.
Example Question #58 : Triangles
If you have an equilateral triangle and the length of one side is , what is the perimeter?
Not enough information is given
An equilateral triangle has three equal sides. To find the perimeter of a triangle, you add up all the sides. Your final answer would then be .
Example Question #59 : Triangles
Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with side length 1.
To solve, simply use the formula for the perimeter of an equilateral triangle. Thus,
Remember, the special property of an equilateral triangle is that all of its sides are the same length so, you can either add the side length 3 times or multiply it by 3.
Example Question #61 : Triangles
Find the perimeter of the triangle shown below:
The perimeter is the sides added together.
Example Question #651 : Plane Geometry
Use the following to answer the question.
Find the perimeter of the triangle.
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
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.
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
