two sides of a triangle measure 18 and 32 cm. if the perimeter is 77 cm what is the length of the third side in centimeters
two sides of a triangle measure 18 and 32 cm, and the perimeter is 77
two sides of a triangle measure 18 and 32 cm, and the perimeter is 77
Solution:
The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the three sides
The sum of the two sides as given is = 18+32 = 50 cm
Let x be the length of the third side
The total length of perimeter is 77 cm = 50 cm + x solve of x
x= 77-50 = 27cm
