The total length of the wire needed to make this shape is 162cm
<h3>Perimeter of a triangle</h3>
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the external side of the triangle.
Given the following parameters
Length of one side of the outside shape = 24cm
The side length of the smaller triangle = 24/4 = 6cm
The perimeter of the smallest triangle 3(6) = 18cm
The perimeter of the smaller triangle (at the middle) = 12(3) = 36cm
Total length of wire needed. = 3(24) + 3(18) + 36
Total length of wire needed = 72 + 54 + 36
Total length of wire needed = 162cm
Hence the total length of the wire needed to make this shape is 162cm
