Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with side length 1.
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.

Use the following to answer the question.
Find the perimeter of the triangle.
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

Find the area of a triangle with base 4 and height 7.
Find the area of a triangle with base 4 and height 7.
To solve, simply use the formula for the area of a triangle. Thus,
To remember this formula, simply realize that two triangles added together would leave you with a rectangle, so a triangle's area must be half the area of a rectangle.

The perimeter of a scalene triangle is 21 mm. Which choice shows the correct side lengths?
The perimeter of a scalene triangle is 21 mm. Which choice shows the correct side lengths?
When finding the perimeter of any triangle, you will need to add all three sides. In this case, it is important to note that this is the perimeter of a scalene triangle. A scalene triangle has no congruent/equal sides. The only choice that adds up to 21 mm with no equal sides is:
