Problema Solution
An equilateral triangle is a triangle that has three sides of the same length. The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is
52.5
inches. Find the length of each side
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'a' represent the length of each side of the equilateral triangle.
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is:
P = 3a
We also know that the perimeter is P = 52.5, so we have:
3a = 52.5 divide both sides by 3
a = 52.5/3
a = 17.5 in
The length of each side is 17.5 inches.
