Title: How to Find the Perimeter of a Triangle
Introduction:-
Triangles are one of the fundamental shapes in geometry. Understanding their properties and being able to calculate their various attributes is essential for both students and professionals and teachers in various fields. One of the most basic calculations for a triangle is finding its perimeter, which is the sum of the lengths of all its sides. In this article, I will try to explain into the various methods of How To Find The Perimeter Of A Triangle, including different types of triangles and the different cases to consider.
Explanation:-
Understanding the Basics Before I start this topic,How To Find The Perimeter Of A Triangle, let's establish a few key concepts and definitions:
Triangle Types: 
Based on sides triangles are divided in three categories:
(a)Equilateral Triangle: A triangle whose all three sides are equal is called equilateral triangle.

In the picture, ABC is an equilateral triangle,whose AB = BC = AC
(b)Isosceles Triangle: A triangle whose any two sides are equal and third one is different is called isosceles triangle.

In the picture, PQR is an isosceles triangle whose   PQ = PR
(c)Scalene Triangle: A triangle whose all three sides are different to one another is called a scalene triangle.

In the picture,  XYZ is a scalene triangle whose,   XY ≠ YZ ≠ ZX
Sides and Vertices:
(i)The sides of a triangle are the line segments that form the boundaries of the triangle. (ii)The vertices of a triangle are the points where the sides meet.
Perimeter:
The perimeter of a triangle is the total length or sum of all its sides.
Sides of a Triangle:
In an equilateral triangle, all sides have the same length, which we'll denote as 'a.' In an isosceles triangle, two sides have the same length, and the third side is 'b.' In a scalene triangle, all three sides have different lengths, which we'll denote as 'a,' 'b,' and 'c.' With these basic concepts in mind, let's discuss  How To Find The Perimeter Of A Triangle in various scenarios.
Procedure 1:
 Perimeter of an Equilateral Triangle: An equilateral triangle is a special case where all sides are of equal length. To find its perimeter, we  will simply multiply the length of one side ('a') by 3, as there are three equal sides. So,Perimeter of an Equilateral Triangle (P) = 3a
Some problems related on equilateral triangle:-
(a) The measure of each side of an equilateral triangle is 5 cm, Find its perimeter.
Solution:-
∵ Each side of the equilateral triangle(a) = 5cm ∴ Perimeter of the equilateral triangle = 3a = (3 × 5)cm = 15 cm (b) The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 21cm, find its each side.
Solution:-
 ∵The perimeter of equilateral triangle = 21 cm ∴ Its each side measure = 21/3                                         = 7cm
Procedure 2: 
Perimeter of an Isosceles Triangle:
An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length ('a') and one side of different length ('b'). To calculate its perimeter, we will add the lengths of the two equal sides ('a') and the different side ('b'). So, Perimeter of an Isosceles Triangle  (P) = 2a + b
Some problems related on isosceles triangle:
(a) The measure of two equal sides of an isosceles triangle is 7m each and third side is 5m, find the perimeter of the isosceles triangle.
Solution:-
∵ The measure of each equal side of the isosceles triangle(a) = 7m The measure of third side (b) = 5m ∴ Perimeter of the isosceles triangle = 2a + b = (2 × 7 + 5)m = (14 + 5)m = 19 m

Listen you should know that letters in algebra is a mercy. Geometry predates algebra by a lot. I've watched videos of people explaining the history of the pygatorean theorm where they point out Pygathorus taught it without algebra, only words. And my head always spins, even if I already know the answer.
A^2 + B^2 = C^2 is the easiest way to explain it. Doing it without this formula and without the concept of exponents is super hard.
It is kinda hilarious, because my younger brother is like, legit, a mathematician. Like he majored in physics and minored in mathematics, and taught himself trigonometry at 16 for FUN. And, if anything, his girlfriend* is even MORE of  math nerd than he is. My father teaches math, like that is legit his job. 
And then they have to be around me and my sister, who both instinctively hide under a table whenever we hear the word ‘calculus’. 
*Smart, funny, delightful, and taught herself calculus at 14 for fun, smartest person I’ve ever met face to face, John is a little in awe of her and freely admits that she’s smarter than him, I told him to marry that woman and it looks like he may just do so
