The Perimeter of a Triangle calculator computes the perimeter of a triangle.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
(A) Side A
(B) Side B
(C) Side C
Perimeter of Triangle (P):. The calculator returns perimeter in meters. However, the answer can be automatically converted to compatible unit via the pull down menu.
The Math / Science
The formula for the perimeter of a triangle is:
P = A + B + C
where:
P = Perimeter of Triangle
A = Side A
B = Side B
C = Side C
A triangle is a polygon with three sides, three vertices (corners), and three angles. Triangles can be classified based on the lengths of their sides and the measures of their angles as follows:
By Side Lengths:
Equilateral Triangle: All three sides are equal in length.
Isosceles Triangle: Two sides are equal in length.
Scalene Triangle: All three sides have different lengths.
By Angle Measures:
Acute Triangle: All three angles are less than 90 degrees.
Right Triangle: One angle is exactly 90 degrees.
Obtuse Triangle: One angle is greater than 90 degrees.
The sum of the interior angles of any triangle always adds up to 180 degrees.
