Answer:
The third side of the triangle measures 20 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Measure of first side = 20 cm
Measure of second side = 40 cm
Given, perimeter = 80 cm
We know that,
Perimeter = Sum of the sides
80 cm = 20 cm + 40 cm + Third side
or, 80 cm = 60 cm + Third side
or, 80 cm - 60 cm = Third side
or, 20 cm = Third side

Given a triangle having sum of its all three sides (i.e Perimeter of Triangle) = 80 cm.
One side = 20 cm ; Second side = 40 cm
Perimeter of Triangle = Sum of its all three sides
Perimeter of Triangle = 80 cm (given)
80 = 20 + 40 + Third side
Let measure for the third side be x cm
80 = 60 + x
x = 80 - 60 = 20 (x = 20)
Therefore, 20 cm is the required measure for the third side of a Triangle
