If a equals 6 cm find the area of the equilateral triangle?
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
What is the formula for finding altitude and area of equilateral triangle?
The altitude formula is like this: Area x 2 divided by the base ( Ax2:b) The area formula is base x height divided by 2
What is the formula of area of equilateral triangle?
It is: 0.5*base*perpendicular height
How do you figure area of an equilateral triangle?
Depends on what information you've been provided.If you've been provided the BASE and the HEIGHT/altitude, you can find the area of any type of triangle (equilateral, isosceles, scalene) by using this formula:A = 1/2 bhIf you've been provided the HEIGHT ONLY, you can still find the area because it's an equilateral triangle. Simply divide it into two 30-60-90 triangles and find the short side of one of them by dividing the height (the long side of the triangle) by √3. Multiply that number by 2 to find the length of the base, then use the above formula.If you've been provided with the SIDE, the same principles of 30-60-90 triangles apply. You can use the formula below:A = (S2 √3) /4If you've been provided the APOTHEM, use the following formula:1/2 ap (where a is the apothem and p is perimeter)This formula works for all regular polygons.
Can a right triangle also be an isosceles triangle or can it be an equilateral triangle explain?
A right triangle can be an isosceles triangle, because the definition of an isosceles triangle is a triangle that has 2 sides equal to each other. A 45,45,90 degree triangle has 2 sides equal to each other, while the hypotenuse is different. It cannot be an equilateral triangle because of the formula a^2+b^2=c^2. With this formula, there is no possible way that: a, b, and c can all be equal to each other. To recap: It can be an isosceles triangle, but not an equilateral one.
