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