A scalene triangle is a triangle that has 3 sides that are all different lengths.

Let these letters represent the problem:

a = 8.7

b = side 2

c = side 3

P = 54.6

To find the perimeter, we just need to add all the sides [ P = a + b + c ]

So, put what we have in the formula above.

54.6 = 8.7 + b + c

Best of Luck!
