The perimeter of an equilateral triangle measures Find the length of each side.  24/5 cm.

To find the length of each side of an equilateral triangle, we use the fact that all three sides are equal. The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is simply the sum of the lengths of its three sides.

Given:
- Perimeter \( P = \frac{24}{5} \) cm

Let the length of each side be \( s \) cm.

Since the triangle is equilateral:

\[
P = 3s
\]

Substituting the given perimeter:

\[
\frac{24}{5} = 3s
\]

Now, solve for \( s
