Solution

Let a,b and c are the original sides of the .Now,perimeter of the , P = a + b + c.When each of the sides of is halved, then new sides are :a' = a2 ; b' = b2 ; c' = c2New perimeter, P' = a2 + b2 + c2 = a+b+c2Decrease in perimeter = P - P' = a+b+c-a+b+c2=a+b+c2Decrease % = decreaseoriginal perimeter×100% = a+b+c2a+b+c×100% = 50%
