Answer:

p = 3k

45cm

Explanation:

Since all sides of an equilateral triangle are equal, to find perimeter, you multiply the number of sides by the length of one side.

So the equation would be p = 3k (k represents the side length and 3 is the number of sides)

If a equilateral triangle has a side length of 15, you just multiply 15 by the number of sides.

3 (15cm) = 45cm

Answer:

Step 1. Perimeter P means adding up all three sides of a triangle.

Step 2. Then P=s+s+s=3s where s is the length of the side of the equilateral triangle.

Step 3. ANSWER: Perimeter P=3s.

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
