Question

A garden is the shape of a triangle. It has a perimeter of 27 meters. Each side of the garden is the same length.

What is the length of each side of the garden?


3 meters

6 meters

9 meters

27 meters

Answer 1

The answer would be 9 meters because we know the perimeter is 27 and a triangle has 3 sides. All you have to do is add 9 to itself 3 times for each side and you get 27 meters.

Answer 2

Answer: 9 meters

Explanation:

Let's list what we know

The garden is in the shape of a triangle

The perimeter of the garden is 27 meters

Each side is the same length

The perimeter of something is the sum of all the side lengths added together. We know that the garden is a triangle and triangles have 3 sides

Since all the sides are the same length we can divide 27 by 3 to find the length of each side

27/3=9
