A triangle is a simple polygon with 3 sides and 3
interior angles. It is one of the basic shapes in
geometry in which the 3 vertices are joined with
each other and it is denoted by the symbol .

A perimeter of a triangle is defined as the total
length of the outer boundary of the triangle. Or
we can say, the perimeter of the triangle is equal
to the sum of all its three sides. The unit of the
perimeter is same as the unit of sides of the
triangle.

Perimeter of the triangular roof = side 1 + side 2 + side 3
A roofing company is designing a triangular roof for a new
shed. The three sides of the roof are 5 meters, 6 meters, and
8 meters long. If the company needs to install roofing
materials along the perimeter, how many meters of
material will they need?
Perimeter of the triangular roof = 5 m + 6 m + 8 m
Perimeter of the triangular roof = 19 m
Therefore, the company needs 19 m of install roofing
materials.

A triangular park bench has sides that are 4 feet, 6 feet, and
8 feet long. If a park maintenance worker needs to replace
the perimeter of the bench with new wood slats, how
many feet of wood will he need to cut?
Area of a
triangle
The area of a triangle is the region occupied by
the triangle in 2D space. The area for different
triangles varies from each other depending on
their dimensions. We can calculate the area if we
know the base length and the height of a triangle.
It is measured in square units.
