Pythagorean Theorem- a2+b2=c2
Then add up all of the sides and you get the perimeter.
LOOPDOP says:
Previous answer will only be correct for a right angled triangle where c= the hypotenuse.
For other triangles it is a bit more complicated.
You will need to now the angle between the two known lengths.
a and b are the two known lengths
C is the angle between a and b
length of third side = the square root of {a2 + b2 - (2ab x cos C)}
Find the perimeter by adding the lengths of the sides
-- Area of a triangle = 1/2 of (length of the base times height) -- Perimeter of a triangle = (length of one side) + (length of another side) + (length of last side)
It depends on what is known about the triangle.
The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the length of its three sides added together. If you do not know the lengths of the sides, there are many different mathematical techniques for discovering them.
Assuming that neither of the sides of equal length is the base, Perimeter = Base + 2*Slanted sides.
If you have the length of each of the three sides of a triangle, you can find the perimeter of (the distance around) the triangle by adding the length of the sides. Their sum will be the perimeter of this geometric shape.
-- Find the length of one side. -- Find the length of another side. -- Find the length of the remaining side. -- Add the three numbers. -- Their sum is the perimeter of the scalene triangle.
Find the perimeter of the triangle with sides of length x, 5x and 6-3x?
If the triangle is equilateral, you simply divide the perimeter by three to find the length of each side. If the triangle is not equilateral, you will need more information to determine the length of each side.
Find the perimeter by adding the lengths of the sides
-- Area of a triangle = 1/2 of (length of the base times height) -- Perimeter of a triangle = (length of one side) + (length of another side) + (length of last side)
It depends on what is known about the triangle.
The perimeter just means the length of something all the way round. So to find the perimeter of a triangle, you have to add the three sides together. That's it.
3(16x-9)=48x-27 is the perimeter

You cannot discover the perimeter of a triangle if all you have is the length of two sides and nothing else. Knowing only the length of two sides of a triangle is insufficient to discover the length of the third side, and, thereby, discover the perimeter.
