Answer:

The perimeter of the triangle is 135 cm

Explanation:

* Lets explain how to find the perimeter of a triangle

- The perimeter of any triangle is the sum of the lengths of its three sides

- The perimeter of the scalene triangle is P = S1 + S2 + S3

- The perimeter of the isosceles triangle is P = 2S + S1

- The perimeter of the equilateral triangle is P = 3S

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The length of the 1st side is 55 cm

∴ S1 = 55 cm

∵ The length of the 2nd side is 48 cm

∴ S2 = 48 cm

∵ The length of the 3rd side is 32 cm

∴ S3 = 32 cm

∵ The triangle is scalene

∴ P = S1 + S2 + S3

∴ P = 55 + 48 + 32 = 135 cm

* The perimeter of the triangle is 135 cm
