Example Question #1 : Equilateral Triangles
An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of units. What is the length of each side?
units
units
units
units
units
Because an equilateral triangle has three sides that are the same length, divide the given perimeter by 3 to find the length of each side.
Example Question #2 : Equilateral Triangles
The perimeter of a equilateral triangle is . In meters, what is the length of a side of this triangle?
Since all three sides are equal in an equilateral triangle, we can just divide the perimeter by 3 to find a side length.
Example Question #3 : Equilateral Triangles
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is . What is the length of a side of this triangle?
Because all the sides in an equilateral triangle are equal, we can just divide the perimeter by 3 to find the length of a side.
Example Question #4 : Equilateral Triangles
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is . What is the length of one side of the triangle?
Since an equilateral triangle has sides that are all the same, divide the perimeter by to get the length of each side.
Example Question #5 : Equilateral Triangles
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 39 meters. In meters, how long is one side of the triangle?
An equilateral triangle has sides that are the same length. Then, to find the length of one side, you only need to divide the perimeter by 3.
Example Question #6 : Equilateral Triangles
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is . What is the length of one side of this triangle?
Since an equilateral triangle has three equal sides, divide the perimeter by to find the length of each side.
Example Question #7 : Equilateral Triangles
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is . What is the length of one side of this triangle?
Since an equilateral triangle has three equal sides, divide the perimeter by to find the length of one side.
Example Question #581 : Plane Geometry
What is the difference between an equilateral triangle and a scalene triangle?
The sum of their side lengths
The sum of their angle measurements
The length of their sides
Their color
The number of side lengths
The length of their sides
Of the choices listed, the main difference between an equilateral triangle and a scalene triangle is their side lengths. An equilateral triangle has to have equal sides, but a scalene triangle can have all different side lengths.
