Answer:

it's side length equals to 8.

Explanation:

Hello!

An equilateral triangle is a triangle with all three sides of equal length , corresponding to what could also be known as a "regular" triangle.

Perimeter: 3 x side of equilateral triangle


24 = 3 * each \: sides

divide both sides by 3


one \: of \: its \: side = 8

Thus, as all the three sides equals to 8.

Hope it helps!

Since an equilateral triangle has 3 equal length sides, and in this case the total of these 3 sides is 24cm, the length of one side is 24/3 = 8cm
