What is formula of finding the perimeter of a triangle?
Perimeter of a triangle = (length of the first side) plus (length of the second side) plus (length of the third side)
Find the measures of the angles of a triangle if the measures of one angle is twice the measure of a second angle and the third angle measures 3 times the second angle decreased by 12?
Let the second angle of the triangle be A. Then angle 1 = 2A : and angle 3 = 3A - 12 The internal angles of a triangle total 180° therefore :- 2A + A + (3A - 12) = 180 6A - 12 = 180 : 6A = 192 : A = 32 The angles measure 64° , 32° and 84° .
Why it is possible for rectangles to have the same perimeters but different areas?
This is possible because you add perimiters but multiply areas. Consider a 2 x 4 rectangle and a 1 x 5 rectangle. The first has a perimeter of 12 (2+2+4+4), and an area of 8 (2 x 4). The second rectangle has a perimeter of 12 also (1+1+5+5), but an area of 5 (5 x 1). The closer a rectangle is to a perfect square, the larger the area will be, because a square maximizes area. A 3 x 3 square also has a perimeter of 12, but an area of 9. Heres another way to think about it: a rectangle that is one inch tall and 100 inches wide would have a perimeter of 202 inches, and an area of 100 square inches. If you added one inch to the side so that it was 101 inches wide, you would add 2 inches to the perimeter, but only one square inch to the area. However, if you made it one inch taller, you would still add 2 inches to the perimeter, but you would DOUBLE the area to 200 square inches.
How big is 85 square feet?
85 square feet is the area of a room that measures eight by ten and a half feet. This is the size of a typical second bedroom. If there was a floor tile that measured 12 inches by 12 inches, this would be 85 floor tiles.

What is the answer for triangle abc?
There can be no answer.First, there is no information on the triangle. Second, what is the question about: do you want the lengths of sides, the perimeter, the measures of angles, the area, the lengths of medians, altitudes, the radius of the incentre, orthocentre, circumcentre. Or do you just want to know what colour it is?

What is formula of finding the perimeter of a triangle?
Perimeter of a triangle = (length of the first side) plus (length of the second side) plus (length of the third side)

yes
The first side of a triangle measures 5 inches less than the second side the third side is 3 inches more than the first side and the perimeter is 17 inches Please tell me how long each side would be?
Five plus three equals 8, right? So the the second side would be eight inches. 17-8=9. so the first side is 5 inches less than the second side, which would make it 3 inches. The third side is +3 which would make it 6 inches. The equation is 3 inches + 6 inches+8 inches= 17 inches.
What is the formula for perimeter of a tiragle?
Perimeter of a triangle = (length of the first side) plus (length of the second side) plus (length of the third side)
The sum of the perimeters of two congruent triangles is three times the perimeter of the first triangle?
Let's denote the perimeter of the first triangle as P. Since the triangles are congruent, the perimeter of the second triangle is also P. The sum of their perimeters is then 2P. According to the given statement, this sum is three times the perimeter of the first triangle. So we have the equation 2P = 3P. Simplifying, we find that P = 0, which is not a valid solution. Therefore, there is no triangle for which the sum of the perimeters of two congruent triangles is three times the perimeter of the first triangle.
