Perimeter of a Scalene Triangle Formulas & Calculator

The perimeter of a scalene triangle can be calculated using the following formula: if you know the length of the 3 sides.

Formula Knowing the three Sides

If you know the length of the three sides, you can calculate its perimeter using the following formula:

Scalene Triangle Perimeter

$$"perimeter" = a + b + c$$

Scalene Triangle Length

Perimeter result


Where:

$$a = "length of the base side"$$
$$b = "lateral side"$$
$$c = "oposite sides"$$

Scalene Triangle Definition

It is a geometric figure with 3 sides and 3 vertices, the scalene triangle always have 3 angles. The scalene triangles will have always 3 sides and 3 diferent angles.

Perimeter Definition

A perimeter is defined by the outer path of a shape. The shape is always in 2 dimensions. The perimeter is the total length of the exterior path. Another way of looking at this is to think of it as the boundary length of a shape.

In the case of a circle, the perimeter is called a circumference.

Perimeter has a Greek origin, "peri" means "around", and "meter" means "measure". So perimeter means "measure around".

Formula Definition

It is a representation of a rule or a general principle using letters. (Algebra, A. Baldor)
When describing formulas in plural, it is also valid to say "formulae".
