Find the area of an equilateral triangle (regular 3-gon) with the given measurement. 9-inch perimeter A = sq. in My answer needs to be in square root.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it has a nine in perimeter with equal sides, then each side is 3 in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

formula is A= 1/2 bh (one half base times height)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

base is 3 in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i cant think of how to figure out height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

height is 2.598 using this calculator: http://rechneronline.de/pi/equilateral-triangle.php

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I sthe perimeter is 9 then it's side isd 3. Using the Heron's Formula the area is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just a minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{1944}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Probably

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=3.897

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sq. in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@kah.x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the answer there has to be 3 letters the sqrt and one more letter

OpenStudy (anonymous):
