Perimeter is a measure of the distance around a figure. If each side of a triangle measures 0.75 inches, what is the perimeter of the triangle?

Question

0.8325 inches
2.25 inches
15 inches
22.5 inches

Answer 1

To find the perimeter of a triangle, you need to add the lengths of all its sides together. Since each side of the triangle measures 0.75 inches and there are three sides, you can calculate the perimeter as follows:

\[ \text{Perimeter} = \text{side 1} + \text{side 2} + \text{side 3} = 0.75 + 0.75 + 0.75 \]

Calculating that:

\[ \text{Perimeter} = 0.75 \times 3 = 2.25 \text{ inches} \]

So, the perimeter of the triangle is 2.25 inches.
