Problema Solution
If 3/8 of the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 6' , what is the length of one side?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
P = 6 ft the perimeter of the equilateral triangle
a = the length of the side of the equilateral triangle (all 3 sides of an equilateral triangle are equal)
the formula for perimeter of an equilateral triangle is P = 3*a thus we have
3a = 6 divide both sides by 3
a = 6/3
a = 2 ft
the length of one side is 2 ft.
