Question

Hugo made a triangle pendant with all three sides the same length, 1(1)/(3) in. What is the perimeter of the triangle?

A) 4 in.
B) 5 in.
C) 5(1)/(3) in.
D) 4(1)/(3) in.

Answer 1

The perimeter of Hugo's equilateral triangle pendant with each side measuring 1 1/3 in. is 4 in. (Option A).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hugo made a triangle pendant with all three sides the same length, 1 1/3 in. To find the perimeter of the triangle, we need to add the lengths of all three sides together. Since the triangle is equilateral (all sides are the same length), we multiply the length of one side by 3 to get the perimeter. Therefore, the perimeter is 1 1/3 in. × 3, which simplifies to 4 in. (1 1/3 in. × 3 = 4/3 in. × 3 = 12/3 in. = 4 in.). The correct answer for the perimeter of Hugo's triangle pendant is 4 inches (Option A).
