How do i find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with an area of 9√3???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the length of the side first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried dividing 9√3 by √3/4. But that didn't work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P=4x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes i know, but i have no sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that gives u square of the side u got to root it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya, that s^2 now find s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I find s, if i only have the area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I try to divide the area by √3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The formula to find the area of an equilateral is: √3/4*s^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Area = √3/4 s^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, and i try to go backwards but i get a bizarre answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya, u DID NOT NOT FIND s u FOUND s^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9√3 ÷ √3/4= 9 √9= 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, i see what i did before, last time i got 3.234. But i used the wrong number in the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okk, cool

Thanks sir!
