Q: The perimeter of a triangle is 160 cm. If two of the sides are 40 cm and 50 cm, calculate the length of the third side?
A: 70
Explain how we arrive at this answer:
Explanation: To get the perimeter, you add all the sides o the triangles, so the first two sides add up to 40 + 50 = 90 cm. If the perimeter of the triangle is 160, the remaining side is 160 - 90 = 70 cm.
