The answer depends on the information that you have: it could be the sine rule or the cosine rule.
If two sides are given and you need to know the length of the third side use the Pythagrean Theorem formula. Then you find the square root. c² = a² + b²* * * * *That is useful only if the triangle is a right angled triangle. Most are not. The correct answer depends on what information you do have.
A radius of a regular triangle is 12 . find the length of one side of the triangle?
A midsegment of a triangle is parallel to the side of the triangle, and it's length is half the length of that side
The answer depends on what information you do have about the triangle.
Divide the length of a side of one triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle.

One side is not enough. For a right triangle the third side can be calculated by Pythagoras' Theorem if you know the length of any two sides.
If (and only if) the length of each pair of sides is greater than the third side, then it is possible to make a triangle.
If two sides are given and you need to know the length of the third side use the Pythagrean Theorem formula. Then you find the square root. c² = a² + b²* * * * *That is useful only if the triangle is a right angled triangle. Most are not. The correct answer depends on what information you do have.
The third side can be of any length in the interval (2, 128) units of length.

If you know the length of 2 sides of a triangle, you can always find the length of the third using Pythag. Pretty neat!
a2 +b2 = c2 (c is the longest side/or hypotenuse)
A midsegment of a triangle is parallel to the side of the triangle, and it's length is half the length of that side
The answer depends on what information you do have about the triangle.
Divide the length of a side of one triangle by the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle.
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.
