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?

Possible Answers:

Cannot be determined from the information provided.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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.

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, 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.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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
