Question

How do you find the perimeter of a triangle whose sides are 1/3, 1/4, and 5/12 inches respectively?

Answer 1

Perimeter is `1` Inch

Explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle whose sides as #a,b,c

`p = a+b+c`

Given in inches, `a= 1/3, b = 1/4 and c = 5/12`.

Convert all the fractions so that denominator is same so that it is easy to add.

`a= 4/12, b = 3/12 and c = 5/12`.

`p = 4/12 + 3/12 + 5/12`. => `p = 12/12 = 1`
