What is the perimeter of a triangle?

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of the three sides of the triangle.

An isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides and the length of the 2 sides must be greater than the length of one.

Perimeter A= 12×2+18=42

Perimeter B= 12+18×2=48

Therefore the greatest possible perimeter of the triangle is Perimeter B (48) since the sum of lengths of the two equal sides(18) is greater than the third side (12) and 48 is greater than 42.
