Perimeter of triangle = 3(side)

P = 3(s)

12 = 3s

12/3 = s

4 = s

I think there is a typo in your post.

The question should be: WHICH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING IS A POSSIBLE SIDE OF THE TRIANGLE?

In that case, 4 cm is the answer. However, 4 cm is not listed among the choices. So, choice d is the answer.
