küljepikkusega

Küljepikkusega is an Estonian term that translates to "side length" in English. It is a fundamental concept in geometry and is used to describe the length of a side of a polygon, most commonly a triangle or a square.

In the context of a triangle, the term küljepikkusega refers to the length of each of its three sides. For instance, a triangle with sides of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm would have küljepikkusega values of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm. This concept is crucial for calculating the perimeter and area of triangles, as well as for determining their type (e.g., equilateral, isosceles, scalene) based on the lengths of their sides.

For a square, all four sides are equal in length. Therefore, when referring to the küljepikkusega of a square, it implies the length of any one of its sides, as all are identical. This single value is sufficient to calculate the square's perimeter (4 times the side length) and its area (side length squared).

The term can also be applied to other polygons, such as rectangles, where it would refer to the lengths of the adjacent sides. In general, küljepikkusega is a straightforward measurement that forms the basis for many geometric calculations and properties. It is a foundational element in understanding the dimensions and shapes of two-dimensional figures.
