Area of an equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 18 cm is _____ sq.cm
Answers
Answer:
Perimeter= 18cm
3* side= 18
side=18/3
side of ∆= 6 cm
Area of equilateral triangle=
=√3/4 x (6)^2
=√3/4 x 36
=9√3 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Question:-
Find the area of equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 18cm.
Answer:-
Given :-
• The given figure is an equilateral triangle.
• The perimeter of triangle is 18cm.
To find :-
Area of the equilateral triangle
Process :-
As we know that an equilateral triangle has all sides equal and it's perimeter is the sum of all it's sides,so finding one side is only needed.
Then:-
Perimeter = 3 × a (a = each side of the triangle)
⇒18 = 3 × a
⇒ 3 × a= 18
⇒ a = 18/3 = 6
∴ 6cm is the measure of each side of the triangle.
Area of the triangle:-
∴The area of the equilateral triangle will be 15.59cm
