Triangle Perimeter 196D05
1. **State the problem:** We need to find the perimeter of a triangle with side lengths $\frac{3}{4}$ m, $\frac{3}{5}$ m, and $\frac{3}{4}$ m.
2. **Formula for perimeter:** The perimeter $P$ of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of all its sides:
$$P = a + b + c$$
where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are the side lengths.
3. **Substitute the given side lengths:**
$$P = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{5} + \frac{3}{4}$$
4. **Add the fractions:** First, add the two $\frac{3}{4}$ terms:
$$\frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}$$
Now add $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{3}{5}$:
Find a common denominator, which is 10:
$$\frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{10}, \quad \frac{3}{5} = \frac{6}{10}$$
So,
$$P = \frac{15}{10} + \frac{6}{10} = \frac{21}{10}$$
5. **Convert to mixed number:**
$$\frac{21}{10} = 2 \frac{1}{10}$$
**Final answer:** The perimeter of the triangle is $\boxed{\frac{21}{10}}$ meters or $\boxed{2 \frac{1}{10}}$ meters.
