An equilateral triangle is a triangle that has three sides of the same length. the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 48.6 centimeters. use an equation to find the length of each side.

We know that a triangle has three sides, all the same length (its equilateral, after all)

The equation to find the length of each side is

Perimeter divided by 3

or in this case

48.6 divided by 3=16.2cm (don't forget the unit)

Hope that helps :)

Hey there,
Equilateral Triangle means that all 3 sides have the same and equal length.
3 side = 48.6 cm
1 side = 48.6 / 3 
          = 16.2 cm

Hope this helps :))
