Find the perimeter of the triangle shown using the Associative proprety. 4 1/2 in 5 1/2in 6 in

So assumn that the measures given are the legnths of the sides

perimiter=side1+side2+side3

so

side1=4 and 1/2

side2=5 and 1/2

side3=6

subsitute

p = (4+1/2) + (5+1/2) + (6)

associative prpoerty says (a+b) + c=a + (b+c) (it deals with addiont with parenthasees)

p=4+1/2+5+1/2+6

p=4+5+1/2+1/2+6

p=9+1+6

p=10+6

p=16 inches
