Make a cut that goes diagonally across three adjoining faces of the cube. If a side of the cube is 's'. Each side of the triangle will square_root(2)*s.

What triangles are formed when you cut an equilateral triangle?
An isosceles triangle
Can an equilateral triangle be symmetrical?
Yes. An equilateral triangle can be symmetrical because cut it straight down the middle and it will be symmertrical.
How many equilateral triangles with a 1 inch sides can be cut from an equilateral triangle with 3 inch sides?
9
Can an equiangular triangle have a right triangle?
Obviously!! That is when you cut the equilateral triangle into two with the help of a line running from the top part of the triangle and stands perpendicular to the base of the triangle.
How can you cut a cross section from a cube to make it a triangle?
You would cut off a corner.

Is a trapezium a paralleogram?
no, it looks like an equilateral triangle with the top cut off.

When a cube is cut in half what shapes would it create?
triangle

What do you get if you cut an equilateral triangle in half along a line through one vertex?
A 30-60-90 right triangle
How to draw a hexagon?
A hexagon is a six-sided figure. Cut an equilateral triangle out of a piece of paper. Chop off little equilateral triangles at each tip of the triangle. What you have is a hexagonal piece of paper. Draw around it.
How do you cut an equilateral triangle into 4 equal parts?

How do you find the height of an equilateral triangle if you don't know its area and you only know that each side is equal to 41.3m?
Cut it exactly down the middle, along its height, and put one piece aside. The remaining side is a right triangle. The slanting side of the right triangle is a whole side of the original equilateral triangle, the bottom is half of an original side, and the vertical line is the height of the original triangle. Now you have a right triangle and you know the lengths of two of its sides, so you use what you know about right triangles to find the length of the third side, which is the height of the original equilateral triangle. It turns out to be 0.866 times the side of the equilateral triangle. (rounded) Technically, that's (1/2) x (side) x sqrt(3)
What will be the perimeter of an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle of area154 sq.cm?
The formula for area of a circle is Area=pi*radius2 you know the area of your circle so now find the radius. 154 = pi*r2 r = 7 cm if you can imagine the equilateral triangle in the circle imagine that the radius touches the exact center of this triangle and can extend to one of the three points on the triangle. (this next part would be so much easier if i could draw you a picture). now, if you remember that an equilateral triangle has three angles that each measure up to 60 degrees. if you take the radius of the circle and draw a line from the center of the triangle to the tip of the triangle you will actually cut on of the 60 degree angles in half. this would now make you have an angle 30 degrees. if you do this same thing to another point you will notice you actually have another triangle inside this triangle. since all triangle angles add up to 180 degrees you know all three angles of this new triangle. (note: this new triangle is not an equilateral triangle). so this new triangle has an angle 30 degrees, 30 degrees, and 120 degrees. you can now use the law of sines to find out the length of one side of the equilateral triangle. if you have drawn your picture correctly then you will see that one side of the new triangle actually shares one side of the equilateral triangle. if you look at your new triangle their is only one side that is known a known quantity. this side is the side that is shared with the equilateral triangle. use the law of sines to figure out the length of this side... 7 / sin(30) = x / sin(120) x = 12.12cm you now know that one side of the equlateral triangle is 12.12cm. since there is three sides to the triangle the total perimeter of the equilateral triange is 12.12 times 3 your answer for the perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 36.36cm
