An equilateral triangle has all three sides of equal length. The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the lengths of all three sides.
Let the length of each side be \( s \). Since the perimeter is 96 centimeters, we can express this mathematically as:
\[
3s = 96
\]
To find the length of each side, we divide both sides of the equation by 3:
\[
s = \frac{96}{3} = 32
\]
Therefore, the length of each side of the equilateral triangle is \( 32 \) centimeters.
