Question

Find the perimeter in simplest form and explain your work

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  7 1/8 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the three side lengths. They are all the same, so we can use multiplication to find their sum.

  P = 3·(2 3/8 yd) = 6 9/8 yd  . . . . .  9/8 = 1 1/8

  P = 7 1/8 yd

The perimeter is 7 1/8 yards.

Answer 2

Answer:

$perimeter \: of \: the \: triangle \\ = 2 \frac{3}{8} +2\frac{3}{8} + 2 \frac{3}{8} \\ = 3 \times 2 \frac{3}{8}\\= 3 \times \frac{19}{8} \\ = \frac{57}{8} \: yd \\ = 7 \frac{1}{8} \: yd$

57/8 yards is the right answer.
