The length of each side of an equilateral triangle is increased by 5 inches, so the perimeter is now 60 inches. Write and solve an equation to find the original length of each side of the equilateral triangle.

The original length of each side of the equilateral triangle = x =15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Original length of side of equilateral triangle = x

If it is increased by 5 inches, the length will become = x+5

Since in equilateral triangle all the ides have same length so,

New Length of side 1 = x+5

New of side 2 = x+5

New Length of side 3 = x+5

Perimeter of triangle = 60 inches

We need to find the value of x

The formula used is:

Putting values in formula and finding x

So, the original length of each side of the equilateral triangle = x =15 inches

a. turk and mcalister

b. howard, mission, and market

c. yes. since streets end some do not cross yet are not parallel to others. example: mcalister and 5th

step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines are lines which do not intersect ever and look a lot like railroad tracks. turk, mcalister and golden gate are examples of these.

intersect are streets which cross each other and a car on one can reach the other. howard, mission, and market intersect with 6th.

skew lines are lines which neither intersect nor are parallel. these lines exist here because some streets end and never intersect another like mcalister and 5th.
