Question 864605: In a equilateral triangle, using the appropriate formula, find it's perimeter in terms of x. 1 side is 2x
Answer by Edwin McCravy(20055) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

The formula for the perimeter of a triangle is

P = (side number 1) + (side number 2) + (side number 3)

An equilateral triangle has all three sides equal.

So if one side is 2x, all three sides are 2x.

P = 2x + 2x + 2x = 6x.  That's the perimeter in terms of x.

Answer: 6x
