An equilateral triangle has 3 equal interior angles each of 60 degrees. There are two right angled triangles in an equilateral triangle. So we can use trigonometry to find the length of one side of the equilateral triangle then multiply this by 3 to find its perimeter. Hypotenuse (which is one side of the equilateral) = 15/sin 60 degrees = 17.32050808 17.32050808 x 3 = 51.96152423 Perimeter = 51.96152423 units.

What is the altitude of an equilateral triangle if its perimeter is 15?
the height is 4.33 units cos 30 = .866 15 / 3 = 5 5 x .866 = 4.33
A triangle has a base of length 20 units and perimeter of 66 units. If a similar triangle has a base of 15 units what is its perimeter?
49.5 units
Find the altitude of a triangle whose area is 45cm squared and 15cm?
The height or altitude of triangle: (2*45)/15 = 6cm Check: 0.5*15*6 = 45 square cm
What is the perimeter and area of a right angle triangle that has a height of 7 cm greater than its base and an hypotenuse of 17 cm?
Perimeter: 8+15+17 = 40 cm Area: 0.5*8*15 = 60 square cm

Perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 15m. What is the length of a side?
15/3=5 equilateral triangle is a triangle with every side the same length
What is the ratio of the length of a side of an equilateral triangle to its perimeter?
Length of a side of an equilateral triangle : Perimeter = 1 : 3 For example, if the length of the sides of an equilateral triangle were 5cm each, then perimeter would be three times that much - 15cm. 5 : 15 is the same as 1 : 3 when simplified. Length of a side of an equilateral triangle : Perimeter = 1 : 3 For example, if the length of the sides of an equilateral triangle were 5cm each, then perimeter would be three times that much - 15cm. 5 : 15 is the same as 1 : 3 when simplified.
What is the perimeter of an equilateral triangle if the measure of the side is 15?
3*15 = 45 units.
What is the perimeter of an equilateral triangle that measures 15 feet on one side?
Equilateral triangles have all sides the same length, and to get the perimeter, you add all the side lengths. 15+15+15=45
What is the perimeter of an equilateral triangle that had a base side of the 5inches?
The perimeter is the sum of all sides. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. So if one side is 5 inches, and we have three of these, we get a perimeter of 15 inches.
What is the length of each side of an equilateral triangle with a perimeter of 15 m?
Each side measures 5 m
Carey drew an equilateral triangle with a perimeter of 45 inches. He dilated the triangle by a scale factor of 0.6. What is the length of each side of the image of the dilated triangle?
Ok if the triangle is equilateral then all the sides have to have the same length. Since the perimeter is 45 inches that means each side is 15 inches. 45 / 3 = 15 Now if he dilates the triangle by a scale factor of 0.6 we have to multiply the length of each side by 0.6. 15 * 0.6 = 9 So the answer is 9 inches
How to find the perimeter of an eQuilateral triangle whose sides measure 5 cm?
The figure is a triangle. That means it has 3 sides. The triangle is "equilateral". That means all three sides have the same length. One side is 5 cm. That means each of the other 2 sides is also 5 cm. So the perimeter is (5 + 5 + 5) = 15 cm.
Does equilateral triangle with sides of length 5 has the same perimeter as an isosceles triangle with the base of length 3 and two equal sides of 6?
Yes 5+5+5 = 15 6+6+3 = 15
The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 45 centimetersFind the length of an altitude?
Each side of the triangle is 45cm/3=15cm. The altitude divides the base into two equal segments of 7.5cm. This results in a right triangle with hypotenuse 15 cm and base 7.5cm. Pythagorus tells us a2+b2=c2 where a=altitude, b=base, c=hypotenuse. a2=c2-b2=152-7.52=225-56.25=168.75, a=12.99cm. Alternatively, the 3 angles of an equilateral triangle are all 60 degrees. The altitude divides one of these angles into two 30 degree angles. The cosine of 30 degrees is the opposite divided by the adjacent side. The adjacent side is the altitude. Thus a/c=cosine of 30 degrees, a=c X cos30 degrees = 15X0.866=12.99cm
What is the area of equilateral triangle with height is 20 and Base is 15?
An equilateral triangle with a height of 20 has a base of 23.1 (23.09401), not 15. If the base is 15 then the height will be 13 (12.99038).
