As equilateral triangle has all sides equal
Perimeter = 3 x side
Side = 60/3 = 20 mtrs
Each side of triangle is 20 mtrs
Hence a = b = c = 20 mtrs
Semiperimeter (s) = perimeter/2
s = 60/2 = 30 mtrs
By Heron's formula
Area of triangle = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
= √30(30–20)(30–20)(30–20)
= √30x10x10x10
=10x10√3
Area of triangle = 100√3 sq. Mtrs or 173.2 sq mtrs

equilateral triangle means all sides equal.
if 1 side=60m then 3 sides = (60×3)m
=180m
therefore, 180 m is the perimeter.
