The lengths of the sides of the triangle are equal to 1048 mm, 1048 mm and 3 m. Calculate the perimeter of this triangle?

We translate the indicated values of the lengths of the sides of the triangle into one value.

Since in 1 meter – 100 cm, and in 1 cm – 10 mm, the length of the third side will be equal to:

3 m = 3 * 100 * 10 = 3000 mm.

Find the perimeter of the triangle.

To do this, we sum up the lengths of all its sides.

We get:

1048 + 1048 + 3000 = 2096 + 3000 = 5096 mm.

We translate the perimeter of the figure into centimeters.

5096/10 = 509.6 cm.

In meters we get:

509.6 / 100 = 5.096 m.

Answer: The perimeter of the triangle is 5.096 m.
