Answer:
111.76 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the perimeter of a triangle is given as:
Side A + Side B + Side C
Since our final answer is going to be in centimeters we have to convert the sides from inches to centimeters
Hence:
1 inch ~ 2.54 centimeters
For 12 inches
1 inch = 2.54 cm
12 inches = x
Cross Multiply
x = 12× 2.54 cm
x = 30.48 cm
For 14 inches
1 inch = 2.54 cm
14 inches = x
Cross Multiply
x = 14× 2.54 cm
x = 35.56 cm
For 18 inches
1 inch = 2.54 cm
18 inches = x
Cross Multiply
x = 18× 2.54 cm
x = 45.72 cm
Hence, the perimeter of the triangle
= 30.48 cm + 35.56 cm + 45.72 cm
= 111.76 cm
In order to calculate the equivalent discount, consider the principle number is 100,
Then, 100 - 100 * 0.20 = 100 - 20 = 80
Now, 80 - 80 * 0.15 = 80 - 12 = 68
So, Total discount would be: 100 - 68 = 32%
Hope this helps!
