Given: Sides of equilateral triangle: 44cm

44 cm44 cm44 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=3×44∴P=132cmTherefore, the perimeter of the given equilateral triangle is 132cm.

Now, lets find area of the given equilateral triangle. ∵A=34×a2∴A=34×442∴A=34×1936∴A=3×484∴A=4843cm2Therefore, the area of the given equilateral triangle is 4843cm2.

Now, lets find altitude of the given equilateral triangle. ∵h=32a∴h=32×44∴h=3×22∴h=223cmTherefore, the altitude of the given equilateral triangle is 223cm.
