Question

The perimeter of the triangle shown is 140 meters. Find the length of each side.

a) 40, 50, 50
b) 30, 50, 60
c) 20, 60, 60
d) 45, 45, 50

Answer 1

The length of each side of the triangle is 40, 50, 50 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its three sides. In this case, the perimeter is given as 140 meters. We need to find the length of each side.

Let's assume the lengths of the sides are a, b, and c. According to the options given, the possible lengths of the sides are 40, 50, 50 (option a); 30, 50, 60 (option b); 20, 60, 60 (option c); and 45, 45, 50 (option d).

To determine the correct option, we need to check if the sum of the side lengths matches the given perimeter of 140 meters.

For option a: 40 + 50 + 50 = 140. This matches the given perimeter, so option a is the correct answer.
