Problem:
A square has an area of 9 sq.m and has a perimeter which is equal to the perimeter of an equilateral triangle. What is the area of the equilateral triangle?
Solution:
Area = 9 sqm
P = same as an equilateral triangle
Area of square = s²
side of square = 3 m
Perimeter of square = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
Perimeter of square = 12 m
Perimeter of square = Perimeter of equilateral triangle
To get the height,
use the Pythagorean theorem
4² = 2² + h²
16 - 4 = h²
h² = 12
h = √12
h = 3.46
Area of equilateral triangle = 1/2(4)(h)
Area of equilateral triangle = 1/2(4)(√12)
Area of equilateral triangle = 6.92820323028
Answer:
Area of equilateral triangle = 6.928 sqm
