Best Answer

you multiply one of the sides by three.

The perimeter is the total length of the outside of the shape - in this case the total of the lengths of the three sides.

You'll need to know the length of one side and an angle to calculate the lengths of the others in any triangle, however in an equilateral triangle all the sides are the same length so if you know one you know them all.

What is the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with an altitude of 15?

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.

How do you find the perimeter of a triangle if you know the area?

You cannot. For a given area, an equilateral triangle will have the smallest perimeter but that perimeter can be increased - without limit - without increasing the area.
