a jeweler creates triangular medallians by bending pieces of silver wire. each medallion is an equilateral triangle. each side of a triangle is 4 cm long. how many medallians can be made from a piece of wire that is cm long?
How long is the piece of wire?
4 * 3 = 12
82 / 12 = ?
That's what I got. Thanks so much!!
You're welcome.
To find out how many medallions can be made from a given length of wire, we need to determine the length of wire required to form a single medallion and then divide the total length by that amount.
In this problem, each medallion is an equilateral triangle with each side measuring 4 cm. To calculate the perimeter of the medallion, we multiply the length of one side by 3 since all sides are equal.
Perimeter of one medallion = 4 cm × 3 = 12 cm
Now, we can divide the total length of wire by the perimeter of one medallion to find the number of medallions that can be made.
Number of medallions = Total length of wire / Perimeter of one medallion
Since the problem does not provide the length of wire, we need that information to provide a specific answer.
