Question

John made a triangle with all three sides the same length, 1 \frac{2}{3} ft. What is the perimeter of the triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If all sides are of the same length, we can multiply the value of one side by 3, because a triangle has three sides (and the perimeter is all sides added together), to find the perimeter.

$1\frac{2}{3}$ × 3

$1\frac{2}{3}$ can be rewritten as $\frac{5}{3}$, so:

$\frac{5}{3}$ × $\frac{3}{1}$

$= \frac{15}{3}$

The numerator & denominator share a common factor of 3, so:

5 ft is the final answer/perimeter.

hope this helps!
