OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[50=\frac{1}{2}(2x)(2\sqrt{3})\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Solve that for x. Once you have x you can find the height and perimeter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why would it be 2 sqrt. 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's a 30-60-90

OpenStudy (mertsj):

sorry. That should have been xsqrt3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the ratios are 2x-x- and xsqrt. 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's going to be x times xsqrt.3
