Saira is going to ride her bike to her friend's house that is 2.3 miles away. Then she is going to ride her bike another 3.4 miles to Starbucks before heading home, which is another 3.8 miles. She noticed on the map that her route is in the shape of a triangle. How far will Abby ride her bike altogether?

9.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Since her route is in the shape of a triangle, total distance travelled can be determined by calculating the perimeter of a triangle.

A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three edges and three vertices. the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees

The perimeter of a triangle = sum of the side lengths

The total distance travelled can be determined by adding the miles she rode

2.3 + 3.4 + 3.8 = 9.5 miles
