A regular polygon.
A Square
A = baWhere A = areab = length of the basea = altitude (height).
Given an altitude of 12 units, an equilateral triangle has side lengths of 13.9 (13.85641) units.
Height = sqrt(3)/2 * length of side So here, approx 4.3301 cm
An equilateral polygon is a polygon where the length of all the sides of the polygon are the same length.
The altitude is usually drawn from the base.
The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the length of each of its sides. If the polygon is a regular polygon the you can calculate the perimeter as [number of sides] *[the length of one side]

A polygon with sides of equal length and equal angles is termed a regular polygon.
The altitude forms a right angle triangle with half the side length and one side as the hypotenuse. Using Pythagoras: (½side)² + altitude² = side² → altitude² = side² - ¼side² → altitude² = ¾side² → altitude = (√3)/2 × side → altitude = (√3)/2 × 6 = 3√3 ≈ 5.2
It can be any length at all. The length of one side imposes no limits at all on the altitude.
It is a regular polygon
The height is the length of its altitude.
