Height
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 regular polygon.
A polygon with sides of equal length and equal angles is termed a regular polygon.
It can be any length at all. The length of one side imposes no limits at all on the altitude.
The height is the length of its altitude.
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
