If the perimeter of a equilateral triangle is 60m.find its area
Answers
Sides are equal.
Perimeter = 60/3
Length of one side = 20m
Area of equilateral triangle =
√3/4 side^2
√3/4 × 400 = 173.2

Question
If the perimeter of a equilateral triangle is 60m . find its area ?
Solution
Given:-
- The perimeter of a equilateral triangle is 60m .
Find:-
- Area of equilateral triangle
Explanation
we know,
In equilateral triangle have all equal side .
So, All side will be same length .
Let,
- Side of equilateral triangle = x m
Important Formula
★ perimeter of equilateral triangle = Sum of length of all side.
★ Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 . (Side)²
So,
A/C to question,
(The perimeter of a equilateral triangle is 60m )
==> perimeter of equilateral triangle = x + x + x
==> 60 = 3x
==> x = 60/3
==> x = 20
Hence
- Side of equilateral triangle = 20 m
Again,
==> Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 .(20)²
==> Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 × 400
==> Area of equilateral triangle = √3 × 100
==> Area of equilateral triangle = 100 × 1.732
==> Area of equilateral triangle = 173.2 m²
Thus
- Area of equilateral triangle = 173.2 m²
