It isn't easy really but you can always divide the number out. For example 50% of 200 is 100 by dividing 200 by 2 or 25% of 100 is 25 by dividing 100 by 4 since 25% is equivalent to 1/4

An equilateral triangle has one length of 3 meters. What are the lengths of the other two sides?

topjm [15]

Answer:

the other sides are 3 meters as well

Step-by-step explanation: Since it is an equilateral triangle, all the sides will be the same. An Isosceles triangle has two of the sides the same and one different. A scalene triangle has all of the sides different. So, the rest of the sides are 3 meters.
