victoria built a triangular garden with sides 4 1/2 ft, 3 3/4 and 5 1/4 what is the gardens perimiter

Answer 1

To find the perimeter of a triangle, you simply add the lengths of all its sides together.

The sides of Victoria's triangular garden are:

• Side 1: 4 1/2 ft (which is 4.5 ft)
• Side 2: 3 3/4 ft (which is 3.75 ft)
• Side 3: 5 1/4 ft (which is 5.25 ft)

Now, let's calculate the perimeter:

\[ \text{Perimeter} = 4.5 + 3.75 + 5.25 \]

Calculating step by step:

1. \(4.5 + 3.75 = 8.25\)
2. \(8.25 + 5.25 = 13.5\)

So, the perimeter of the triangular garden is 13.5 ft.
