Answer:

39 inches

Explanation:

the triangle has all equal angles

this means it is equilateral and this also means all the sides are equal

so take 2 sides and set them equal to each other to find x

21 - x = x + 5

now solve

add x to both sides

21 = 2x + 5

subtract 5 to both sides

16 = 2x

divide everything by 2

8 = x

now flip it

x = 8

plug this is to one of the equations and multiply that by 3

8 + 5 = 13

13 * 3 = 39

that is the perimeter
