Question

An equilateral triangle has perimeter P. The length of one side is P/3. Which expression is equivalent to the length on one side

Answer 1

Answer:
`3* (P)/(3)=P`

Explanation:

Given

The perimeter of one equilateral triangle is P

The lengths of the equilateral triangle are equal

Suppose x is the length of each side

`\therefore 3* x=P\\\\\Rightarrow x=(P)/(3)`

i.e.

`\Rightarrow 3* (P)/(3)=P`
