Question 895324: A wire is first bent into the shape of a rectangle with width
9cm
and length
12cm
. Then the wire is unbent and reshaped into a triangle. If each side of the triangle has equal length, what is this length?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter of rectangle = 2length + 2 width
P = 2*12 + 2*9
P = 24 + 18
P = 42
P triangle = Perimeter of rectangle/3
P = 14
