Question

If the dimensions of a triangle are cut in half, then the new perimeter is one fourth of the original perimeter?

Answer 1

Is this true or false question?

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Answer: false
it's more that half if you can't believe it.
lets say if there was a triangle that the base was 10 cm and the height was 1 cm, and the lengths at the sides were 6 and 6 cm
So at the beginning we have the diameter as 6+6+10 = 22 cm

if we cut it in half, one half will be 6+5(because half of 10)+1(height) = 12cm

to find the percentage it is 12 divide by 22 times 100 =54.54545455
=54.5% (3sf) or 55% 2sf

Answer 4

So it's false :)
