Since, ABC is an equilateral triangle, CD is the perpendicular bisector of AB. Hence, the length of the side of an equilateral triangle is 2 cm. Hence, perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 6 cm.

Given,
Altitude = √3 cm
Let the ΔABC be equilateral triangle.
All angles will be 60°.
And Altitude (AD) will bisect the base.
So, ∠ADC = 90°.
Let the side be a. Then, by pythagoras theorem in ΔADC,
Altitude² + (a/2)² = a²
3² = a²- a²/4
3 = 3a²/4
a² = 4
a = 2 cm
Now,
Perimeter = 3 * side
= 3 * 2 cm
= 6 cm
