Question

height of equilateral triangle whose side is 50cm

​

Answer 1

Answer

This problem actually provides more information than we need, though that does provide an alternate (more challenging) route to the same solution.

Equilateral triangles have three equal sides — so if you know the perimeter, you can simply divide by three to find the length of each side:

s=PEquiTri3=50 cm3=503 cm≈16.3 cm

The calculation to find side length from area is more complicated, but not necessary here.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilateral triangle has all sides equal

1. 50 all
2. triangle has three sides
3. 50/3
4. 50/3=16.66 each side
5. form a equilateral triangle
