Yesterday I presented a question about the perimeter of a triangle.
Do you know what the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is if each side is equal to 5?
One of the topics I cover in my ASVAB prep course is the topic of triangles. In order to answer this question, it is essential to know that an equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides. As an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students that it is not necessary to remember a formula to know how to find the perimeter of a shape. Perimeter is found by adding up the lengths of all the sides of a shape. A triangle has 3 sides. In an equilateral triangle, if each side equals 5, the perimeter is 5 + 5 + 5 = 15.
Did you know the answer to this question?
