every equilateral triangle, the length of altitude always=1/2*side*sqrt(3). So, if given the length of altitude = 15, it means : 1/2 * side * sqrt(3) = 15 let the length of each side of the triangle is x, so the expression algebraic for this can be : 1/2 * x * sqrt(3) = 15 solve for x

OpenStudy (raden):

after u got x, to determine of the perimeter, just multiply by 3

OpenStudy (raden):

well, @Figureskater120 . look at this, how to find of x : 1/2 * x * sqrt(3) = 15 multiply by 2 to both sides, gives us : 2 * 1/2 * x * sqrt(3) = 2 * 15 x * sqrt(3) = 30 now, divided by sqrt(3) to both sides : x * sqrt(3) / sqrt(3) = 30/sqrt(3) x = 30/sqrt(3) here, we need to rationalizing of it : x = 30/sqrt(3) = 30/sqrt(3) * (sqrt(3)sqrt(3)) = 30sqrt(3)/3= 10sqrt(3)

OpenStudy (raden):

can u determine the perimeter, now ?

OpenStudy (raden):

read, my the 2nd coment in the last sentence... ^

OpenStudy (raden):

exactly, that's right
