A triangle has sides of length 8 meters, 8 meters, and 8 meters. What is the perimeter?

The perimeter of any shape is all of the sides added together.

Triangles only have 3 sides, and all three sides are given, so all you need to do is add them.

8+8+8=24.

The perimeter is 24 meters.

I hope this helps :)

To solve for the perimeter, add all the sides together, regardless of shape.


In this case, to solve for the perimeter of the triangle, add all three sides.


8 + 8 = 16

16 + 8 = 24


24 meters is your answer


hope this helps
