Question

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 63 in.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:just do 4x+3

Answer 2

Because it is an equilateral triangle, all three sides are the same length.  Because of this, you need to divide 63/3 to find out the length of one side.  63/3=21.  So this tells us that 4x+3=21.  Now that we have the equation, we need to solve for x. To do this, subtract the 3 on both sides to get 4x alone.  21-3=18.  So now we know that 4x=18.  Now divide 4 on each side to get x alone.  X= 18/4, which simplifies to 9/2.  In decimal form, x=4.5.
