To find the perimeter of a non-right triangle, follow these steps:
1. **Identify the Sides**: Determine the lengths of all three sides of the triangle. Label them as \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \).
2. **Use the Perimeter Formula**: Recall that the perimeter \( P \) of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides. The formula is:
\[
P = a + b + c
\]
3. **Add the Lengths**: Sum the lengths of the three sides together using the formula from step 2 to calculate the perimeter.
4. **State the Result**: Once you have the total, the result will be the perimeter of the non-right triangle.
5. **Units**: Ensure you include the appropriate units (e.g., cm, m) for the perimeter based on the measurements of the sides.
