One side of the triangle is 47.6 cm, the other is 5.9 cm shorter than the first, and the third is 40.2 cm. Find the perimeter of the triangle.

1) Find the length of the second side of the triangle.

Since we know that it is 5.9 cm shorter than the length of the first side, its value will be:

47.6 – 5.9 = 41.7 cm.

2) Determine the perimeter of the triangle.

The perimeter is the sum of all sides of the shape.

In this case, we get:

47.6 + 41.7 + 40.2 = 129.8 cm.

Answer: The perimeter of the triangle is 129.8 cm.
