Question

An equilateral triangle has perimeter P. The length of one side is P/3. Which expression is equivalent to the length on one side

Answer 1

Answer: $3\times \dfrac{P}{3}=P$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The perimeter of one equilateral triangle is P

The lengths of the equilateral triangle are equal

Suppose x is the length of each side

$\therefore 3\times x=P\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{P}{3}$

i.e.

$\Rightarrow 3\times \dfrac{P}{3}=P$
