the formula is a=1/2bh (works for any triangle) so if the height is 3, and the base is 3, than 3 (base) *3 (height) = 9, then multiply that by the 1/2 and you get 4 1/2. Hope this helps.
Above answer is incorrect because the height is not3.
The sides each = 3 and therefore the height will be somewhat less.
The height = Sqrt of (32 - 1.52) = 2.59808
The area = 1.5 x 2.59808 = 3.89711
(1.5 in above calculation = 1/2 base)
There is only one basic shape for an equilateral triangle. The area can only vary as the length of the sides vary.
Perimeter of equilateral triangle: 24 units Area of equilateral triangle: 27.713 square units rounded to three decimal places
In our example, the area of the equilateral triangle is 1/6 of the area of the regular hexagon
225(radical "3")/4
The area is: 15.6 (15.58846) square inches.
By definition, an equilateral triangle has all three sides of equal length! So it is impossible for it to have sides of length 10 inches and 7 inches!
There is only one basic shape for an equilateral triangle. The area can only vary as the length of the sides vary.
The area is 1.2 (1.16463) m2

If the sides are different lengths it ain't equilateral...
In our example, the area of the equilateral triangle is 1/6 of the area of the regular hexagon
225(radical "3")/4
It will be 9 times as large. And that will be true for any plane shape, not just an equilateral triangle.

The area is: 15.6 (15.58846) square inches.
To get the area of an equilateral triangle, you just need to know the length of one side. Multiply the length of one side by the square root of three and then divide the product by four, and you will get the area of the triangle.
There are many ways in which a scalene and equilateral (and also a right-triangle) are the same. A few examples would be:They all have three sides, defined by three points.The sum of their internal angles is 180° (or π radians)The triangle's area is exactly half that of the smallest possible surrounding rectangle
