Answers
SOLUTION:-
Given:
The area of an equilateral ∆ is 8√3.
We know that, area of an equilateral ∆ is;
Now,
Perimeter of triangle:
=) 3× side
=) 3 × 4√2
=) 3× 4× 1.414
=) 3× 5.656
=) 16.968cm
Hope it helps ☺️
Correct Question :-
If the area of an equilateral triangle is 8 root of 3 units². Find the perimeter.
Answer :-
Perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 12√2 units.
Explanation :-
Finding the side of equilateral triangle
Given
Area of an equilateral triangle = 8√3 units²
Also
Area of an equilateral triangle = (√3/4) * a²
[Where a = side of an equilateral triangle]
⇒ 8√3 = (√3/4) * a²
⇒ 8√3 * 4 = a²
⇒ 32√3 = √3a²
⇒ 32√3/√3 = a²
⇒ 32 = a²
⇒ √32 = a
⇒ √16 * √2 = a
⇒ 4 * 1.414 = a
[ ∵ √2 = 1.414]
⇒ 5.616 = a
⇒ a = 5.616
Side of an equilateral triangle = 5.616 units
Finding perimeter of an equilateral triangle
Perimeter of an eqilateral triangle = 3a
= 3 * 5.616
= 16.968
∴ perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 16.968 units.
