<PRE><B>Question 10774</B>
The perimeter of the triangle = sum of the three sides.
P = 3x + 4x + 5x = 12x


If x= 8 inches, then P= 12x = 12(8 inches) or 96 inches.


To answer in feet, you must divide the previous answer by 12, since there are 12 inches in a foot.  This would be 96/12 = 8 feet.
