Travis measures the perimeter of a sandbox.One of the sides is 8 feet long, and the perimeter is 24 feet.If all of the sides are the same length, what is the shape of the sandbox?

Answer 1

If one of the sides of the sandbox is 8 feet and the perimeter is 24 feet, then the sandbox must have 3 sides since 8 x 3 = 24. Since all sides of the sandbox are the same length, it is a equilateral triangle.
