You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance around a right triangle. The equation for this is a2 = b2 + c2. Further through the equation, it is a = square root of b2 +c2. If you know one side of the right triangle is 4 and a second side is 6, the equation would be as follows. a2 = b2 + c2 a = square root of 42 + 62 a = square root of 16 + 36 a = square root of 52 a = 7.211

How do you find the perimeter to a triangle?
The perimeter of a triangle is the distance around it. Add the lengths of the three sides to find the perimeter.
How do you find the perimeter of a triangle when all three sides are given?
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.
What is the distance between the centroid and the vertex of an equilateral triangle?
It is two-thirds of the triangle's height.
The isosceles triangle had a side of 4.6 inches and a base of 3.9 inches. What was the distance around it?
An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two equal sides. To find the perimeter of the triangle, you simply need to add together the lengths of the base and the two sides. So: 3.9 + 4.6 +4.6 = 13.1 inches.
