An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 15x3 + 33x5 feet. What is the length of each side?
Solution:
Given, the perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 15x3 + 33x5 feet
We have to find the length of each side of an equilateral triangle.
An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all the three sides are equal and all three interior angles are equal and each equal to 60°.
Perimeter = 3(length of side of triangle)
So, the length of the side of the triangle = perimeter / 3
Length of each side = 15x3 + 33x5 / 3
Taking out 3 common from numerator, we get,
15x3 + 33x5 = 3(5x3 + 11x5)
Now, length of each side = 3(5x3 + 11x5) / 3
= (5x3 + 11x5)
Therefore, the length of each side of an equilateral triangle is 5x3 + 11x5.
An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 15x3 + 33x5 feet. What is the length of each side?
Summary:
An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 15x3 + 33x5 feet. The length of each side is 5x3 + 11x5.
