  • An equilateral triangle has a side labeled 3x. The perimeter of the triangle is 99 cm.


\underline{\underline{\frak{\qquad To\:Find :\qquad}}} \\

  • The measure of the sides of the traingle = ?


\underline{\underline{\frak{\qquad Solution :\qquad}}} \\

  • An equilateral triangle has a side labeled 3x.
  • Perimeter of an equilateral traingle = 99 cm


\underline{\boldsymbol{According\: to \:the\: Question\:now :}}\\


:\implies \sf Perimeter_((of \: equilateral \: \Delta)) = 3a \\ \\ \\


:\implies \sf 99 = 3(3x) \\ \\ \\


:\implies \sf 99 = 9x\\ \\ \\


:\implies \sf x = (99)/(9) \\ \\ \\


:\implies \sf x = 11 \: cm \\ \\ \\


\bigstar \: \underline{\textsf{The measure of the sides of the equilateral traingle :}} \\ \\


\dashrightarrow\:\:\sf Side_((of \: equilateral \: \Delta)) = 3x \\ \\ \\


\dashrightarrow\:\:\sf Side_((of \: equilateral \: \Delta)) = 3(11) \\ \\ \\


\dashrightarrow\:\: \underline{ \boxed{\sf Side_((of \: equilateral \: \Delta)) = 33 \: cm}} \\ \\


\therefore\:\underline{\textsf{The measure of the sides of the traingle is \textbf{33 cm}}}. \\ \\

\underline{\underline{\frak{\qquad Verification :\qquad}}} \\


\longrightarrow\: \sf 99 = 3(3x) \\ \\ \\ \\


\longrightarrow\: \sf 99 = 3(3 * 11) \\ \\ \\ \\


\longrightarrow\: \sf 99 = 3(33) \\ \\ \\ \\


\longrightarrow\: \underline{ \boxed{\sf 99 = 99}}\\ \\ \\ \\


\longrightarrow\: \underline{ \boxed{\sf LHS = RHS}}\\ \\ \\ \\


\underline{\underline{\frak{\qquad Hence, Verified\qquad}}} \\ \\
