Answer 1

Answer:

4 1/6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has sides of LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{6}1 1 6 inches, LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{3}1 1 3 inches, and LaTeX: 1\frac{2}{3}1 2 3 inches. What is the perimeter of the triangle? Make sure your answer is in simplest form.

Perimeter of Triangle = Side a + Side b + Side c

Perimeter of the Triangle =

( 1 1/6 + 1 1/3 + 1 2/3) inches

Lowest common denominator = 6

= 1 + 1 + 1 +(1/6 + 1/3 + 2/3)

= 3 + (1 + 2 + 4/6)

= 3 + 7/6

= 3 + 1 1/6

= 4 1/6 inches
