Question

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 24 cm. Find the length of each sides

Answer 1

8cm

Explanation:

An equilateral triangle means that all the sides are equal (the same length). A triangle has 3 sides so all we have to do is:

24/3 = 8

Each side is 8cm long

Answer 2

Length of each sides = 8 cm

Explanation:

Given the perimeter of an equilateral triangle, 24 cm:

Equilateral triangles have three congruent sides.

Hence, to find the length of an equilateral triangle, simply divide the perimeter by 3 (since an equilateral triangle has three equal sides).

Perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 24 cm

Side = 24 cm ÷ 3 = 8 cm

Therefore, the length of each side is 8 cm.
