Answer 1

Dear Student,

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Perimeter}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{equilateral}\mathrm{triangle}=17.7\mathrm{cm} \\ \mathrm{Perimeter}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{triangle}=\mathrm{sum}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{all}\mathrm{sides} \\ \mathrm{Let}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{side}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{equilateral}\mathrm{triangle}\mathrm{be}\mathrm{x}\mathrm{cm}. \\ \mathrm{Then},3\mathrm{x}=17.7 \\ \mathrm{x}=\frac{17.7}{3}=5.9\mathrm{cm} \end{gathered}$$
