An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. What is the equation for the perimeter of an equilateral triangle if P= perimeter and S=length of a side?

Step 1. Perimeter P means adding up all three sides of a triangle.

Step 2. Then P=s+s+s=3s where s is the length of the side of the equilateral triangle.

Step 3. ANSWER: Perimeter P=3s.

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
