Given
- Height of equilateral
triangle = √3unit
To Find
- Find the side and perimeter of equilateral triangle
Solution
As we know that
- Height = √3/2a
Let " a " be the side of equilateral triangle
Height of equilateral triangle = √3/2a
→ √3 = √3/2a
→ 1 = 1/2a
→ 2a = 1
→ a = 1/2 unit
Perimeter equilateral triangle
→ 3a
→ 3 × 1/2 = 3/2 unit
Hence, the side of equilateral triangle is 1/2unit and its perimeter is 3/2unit

Solution :-
Given ,
- height of equilateral triangle is √3 unit .
To find ,
- the side and the perimeter of the equilateral triangle .
Here , let the side of the equilateral triangle be "x" .
We know that :
=> Height = √3/2 x
So,
the height of the equilateral triangle = √3/2 x
=> √3=√3/2 x
=> 1=1/2 x
=> 2x = 1
=> x = 1/2
the side of the equilateral triangle is 1/2 unit .
Now,
to find the perimeter we know that we have to use the formula 3x
So,
putting the value we get ;
=> 3×1/2
= > 3/2
the perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 3/2 unit .
The side and perimeter of equilateral triangle is 1/2 and 3/2
