Answer:

4 in.

Explanation:

By definition of a equilateral triangle, all sides and interior angle measurements are congruent.

Essentially, all interior angles = 60°

By definition of a triangle, a triangle has 3 sides. It is given that the total measurement of the sides is 12. Divide 12 with 3: 12/3 = 4

4 inches is the side length.
