Question

Calculate the total length of the given triangle in cm.

• A. $\text{565 cm}$
• B. $\text{360 cm}$
• C. $\text{445 cm}$
• D. $\text{680 cm}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\text{445 cm}$

$\text{To find the total length of the}$ $\text{triangle, we have to add the lengths}$ $\text{of all the three sides.}$

$\text{Let's make the units same for all the}$ $\text{sides.}$

$\text{As we know that,}$
$\text{1 m = 100 cm}$


$\text{The length of side AB}$ $\text{= 1.55 m}$

$\text{So, 1.55 m}=1.55\times 1\text{m}$
$=1.55\times 100\text{cm}$
$=155\text{cm}$

$\text{The length of side BC}$ $\text{= 1.35 m}$

$\text{So, 1.35 m}=1.35\times 1\text{m}$
$=1.35\times 100\text{cm}$
$=135\text{cm}$

$\text{The length of side AC}$ $\text{= 155 cm}$

$\text{Now, let's add all the three sides :}$

$⟹$ $\text{155 + 135 + 155 = 445 cm}$


$\text{Thus, the total length of the triangle}$ $\text{is 445 cm.}$
