To find the perimeter of a triangle, you simply add the lengths of all the sides together.
In this case, the lengths of the sides are:
- Side 1 = 3 cm
- Side 2 = 9 cm
- Side 3 = 12 cm
Now, add them together:
\[ \text{Perimeter} = 3 , \text{cm} + 9 , \text{cm} + 12 , \text{cm} = 24 , \text{cm} \]
Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle is 24 cm.
