Question

A piece of wire is 36cm long. What will be the length of each side, if the wire
is used to form
i) an equilateral triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle has equal sides

So , we will divide 36 by 3

= 36 ÷ 3

= 12

hence , the length of each side of a equilateral triangle would be 12 cm .

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

A piece of wire is 36cm long

To find:-

A piece of wire is 36cm long. What will be the length of each side, if the wire

is used to form

i) an equilateral triangle

Solution:-

Total Length of the given wire = 36 cm

Perimeter of the wire = 36 cm

If it is used to form an equilateral triangle

So, the perimeter of the equilateral triangle 3× length of the side

=>3× length of the side = 36

=>Length of the side =36/3

Length of the side =12 cm

Answer:-

Length of the each side of the equilateral triangle is 12 cm

Used formula:-

Perimeter of a n equilateral triangle is 3×length of the side
