Question

The formula P = a + b + c gives the perimeter P of a triangle with side lengths a, b, and c. How much greater is the perimeter of a triangular field with sides that measure 92 yards, 95 yards, and 84 yards than the perimeter of a triangular field with sides that measure 85 yards, 90 yards, and 56 yards?

Answer 1

40 yards greater

Explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle, P = a + b + c

perimeter of a triangular field with sides that measure 92 yards, 95 yards, and 84 yard

P = a + b + c

= (92 + 95 + 84) yards

= 271 yards

perimeter of a triangular field with sides that measure 85 yards, 90 yards, and 56 yards

P = a + b + c

= (85 + 90 + 56) yards

= 231 yards

perimeter of a triangular field with sides that measure 92 yards, 95 yards, and 84 yard is 40 YARDS GREATER than perimeter of a triangular field with sides that measure 85 yards, 90 yards, and 56 yards
