Example Question #1841 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement
An equilateral triangle is formed by the base of a desk. If one side of the base of the desk is 3 feet, what is the perimeter of the desk?
Cannot be determined from the information provided.
An equilateral triangle is formed by the base of a desk. If one side of the base of the desk is 3 feet, what is the perimeter of the desk?
To find the perimeter of a shape, add up the lengths of its sides. In this case, we need to recall what equilateral means.
An equilateral triangle has three equal sides, therefore, this triangle will have 3 sides that are each 3 feet. So, we can find our answer as follows:
So our answer is 9ft
Example Question #15 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Triangle
Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with a base of length 7 inches.
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, we know the base of the triangle has a length of 7 inches. Because it is an equilateral triangle, we know that all sides are equal. Which means all sides are 7 inches. Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Example Question #14 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Triangle
Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with a base of 6.5cm.
To find the perimeter of a triangle, we will use the formula:
where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle.
Now, we know the base of the triangle is 6.5cm. Because it is an equilateral triangle, we know that all sides are equal. Therefore, all sides are 6.5cm. Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Example Question #15 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Triangle
Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with a base of 11cm.
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 that the base of the triangle is 11cm. Because it is an equilateral triangle, we know that all sides are equal. Therefore, all sides are 11cm.
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Example Question #16 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Triangle
Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with a base of 9cm.
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 9cm. Because it is an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal. Therefore, all sides are 9cm.
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.
Example Question #21 : Triangles
Use the following image 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.
Now, let's look at the triangle.
We can see the triangle has sides with lengths of 10 feet, 6 feet, and 12 feet.
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Example Question #21 : Plane Geometry
Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle that has a base of 10 feet.
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 10 feet. Because it is an equilateral triangle, we know that all sides are equal. Therefore, all sides are 10 feet.
Knowing this, 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 6ft.
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 6ft. Because it is an equilateral triangle, we know that all sides are equal. Therefore, all sides are 6ft.
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Example Question #22 : Triangles
Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with a base of length 17in.
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 17in. Because it is an equilateral triangle, all lengths are the same. Therefore, all lengths are 17in.
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Example Question #23 : Triangles
Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with a base of 14cm.
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 14cm. Because it is an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal. Therefore, all sides are 14cm.
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
