the formula for finding the area of a triangle is: axb/2=______
so since its an equalateril triangle, every side is 6
so you do 6x6/2 which is 18

a=1/2bh b=h=6 a=.5*6*6 a=18
Base times height and divided by 2.
You find the height by using Pythagoras' theorem and then 0.5*base*height = 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.
The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is (base/2) x height... therefore the are of the triangle in this case is 18 square inches
