Q 6. Find the perimeter of each of the following shapes :
(a) A triangle of sides 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm.
(b) An equilateral triangle of side 9 cm.
(c) An isosceles triangle with equal sides 8 cm each and third side 6 cm.
(a) The perimeter of a triangle = Sum of all three sides
= 3cm + 4cm + 5cm
= 12 cm
(b) The perimeter of an equilateral triangle
= Sum of all the sides of the triangle
= (9cm +9cm +9cm)
= 27cm
(c) Perimeter of a given isosceles triangle
= Sum of all sides
= 8cm + 8cm +6cm
= 22 cm
