If 3/8 of the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 6ft what is the lenght of one side? draw a picture

3/8 * 2 = 6/16, One side is 16ft. The total perimeter is 48 ft.

                           /\
      16 ft.   ->     /    \
                       /        \
                     
That's my best triangle. :)

3/8 of a triangle is 6ft then the whole perimeter is 6/3 * 8 = 16ft and therefore the length of one side is 16/3 ft
