1. Find the length of one side of the equilateral triangle

Total number of sides for 55 separate triangles =5×3=15= 5 \times 3 = 15
Length of 11 side =135÷15=9= 135 \div 15 = 9 cm

2. Calculate the perimeter of the figure

The outer boundary of the figure consists of 77 solid edges.
Perimeter of the figure =7×9=63= 7 \times 9 = 63 cm
