Question 475546: Geometric Problems:
An equilateral triangle is a triangle that has three sides of the same length. The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 48.6 centimeters. Use an equation to find the length of each side.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the triangle is equilateral then all three sides have the same length, and so, if s = the length of a side, then P = 3s.
==> 48.6 = 3s ==> s = 16.2 cm.
