you’re answer is the 4th option (5x3 + 11x5 feet)
since it is an equilateral triangle..you would divide the original equation by 3 to get your answer

Answer:


\[5x+11x^(5)\]

Explanation:

An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of
\[15x+33x^(5)\]

In an equilateral triangle all three sides are equal.

Let the length of each side be a

Then,
\[a+a+a=15x+33x^(5)\]


\[=> 3a=15x+33x^(5)\]


\[=> a=(15x+33x^(5))/(3)\]


\[=> a=5x+11x^(5)\]

None of the options provided match the required length of the side of the triangle.
