The sides of an equilateral triangle are same. So if one of the sides is (x-4.5), all the sides are (x-4.5). 
Let the sides are a=(x-4.5), b=(x-4.5), c=(x-4.5)

1. Perimeter(as sum) = a+b+c
                                    =  (x-4.5)+(x-4.5)+(x-4.5)
                                    = x+x+x-4.5-4.5-4.5
                                    = 3x - 13.5
2. Perimeter (as product) = 3×a    
                                     = 3×(x-4.5)
                                     = 3×x - 3×4.5
                                     = 3x - 13.5
(you can write 3×b or 3×c also as a=b=c.)

<em>Both perimeter as sum and perimeter as product are same as adding a number three times is the same as multiplying it by 3.</em>

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

42.06 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

          2 sides = 2(2.7 ft × 3.2 ft) = 2 × 8.64 ft² =   17.28 ft²

 Front + back =  2(2.1 ft × 3.2 ft) = 2 × 6.72 ft² =   13.44 ft²

Top + bottom =   2(2.1 ft × 2.7 ft) = 2 × 5.67 ft² =   <u>11.34 ft² </u>

                                                         Total area = 42.06 ft²
