How do I find the area of an equilateral triangle given the perimeter of 60 cm and the height of 17.3 cm?

Answer (2)

If perimeter is 60 so the side is 60 ÷ 3 = 20
Now we can apply the area formula for triangles;
A = 2 1 ​ . b . h A = 2 1 ​ .20.17.3 = 10.17.3 = 173 c m 2

To find the area of an equilateral triangle with a perimeter of 60 cm and a height of 17.3 cm, first calculate the side length as 20 cm, then use the area formula to find that the area is 173 cm². This is done using the formula A = 2 1 ​ × base × height .
