area of a triangle=(1/2)basexheight area of an equilateral triangle=sqrt(3).a^2/4 a=length of side of a triangle both themethods can be used to find the area of an equlateral triangle

shall i solve it for u??????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya sure.just give me a minute

Solving as right triangle, side is 41.569: http://www.hackmath.net/en/calculator/triangle-calculator?what=rt&a=A%3D60+a%3D36+&submit=Solve Unknows side is hypotenuse of this right triangle with angle A=60 and leg 36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1/2)basexheight=sqrt{3}x a^2x(1/4) base=a as all sides are equal height =altitude=36 feet (1/2)ax36=sqrt{3}x a^2x(1/4) now on solving the above equation , you will get a(side of the triangle)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=length of side of the triangle(read my first reply again) 36x4/2=sqrt(3)a a=41.5 feet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my pleasure

equilateral triangle consist of two right triangle with angle 60 degree and leg 36. So hypotenuse of this triangle is side of your triangle and is 41.569 feet long
