To find the length of each side of an equilateral triangle, you can use the formula for the perimeter of an equilateral triangle, which is \( P = 3s \), where \( s \) is the length of each side.
Given that the perimeter \( P \) is 18 meters, you can set up the equation:
\[
3s = 18
\]
Now, solve for \( s \):
\[
s = \frac{18}{3} = 6
\]
So, the length of each side of the equilateral triangle is **6 meters**.
