Question

An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 15x^3 + 33x^5 feet. What is the length of each side?

Answer 1

5x^3 + 11x^5 ft

Explanation:

An equilateral triangle has all three sides of equal length, so the perimeter is found by

P =3s where s is the side

We know the perimeter

15x^3 + 33x^5 = 3s

Divide each side by 3

15/3x^3 + 33/3x^5 = 3/3s

5x^3 + 11x^5 = s

Each side is 5x^3 + 11x^5 ft
