Given: Sides of equilateral triangle: 22cm

22 cm22 cm22 cm

To find: Perimeter, Area and Altitude of an equilateral triangle

Solution: First lets find the perimeter of the given equilateral triangle. ∵P=3a∴P=3×22∴P=66cmTherefore, the perimeter of the given equilateral triangle is 66cm.

Now, lets find area of the given equilateral triangle. ∵A=34×a2∴A=34×222∴A=34×484∴A=3×121∴A=1213cm2Therefore, the area of the given equilateral triangle is 1213cm2.

Now, lets find altitude of the given equilateral triangle. ∵h=32a∴h=32×22∴h=3×11∴h=113cmTherefore, the altitude of the given equilateral triangle is 113cm.
