An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 60 meters and s height of 17.3 meters. What is the area of the triangle

The area of the triangle is 173 squared meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle has all sides equal to each other.

Finding the length of each side of the triangle.

Like I said before, in an equilateral triangle all the sides are equal. The perimeter of a triangle is every side added together. Since each side is equal, you will divide 60 (the perimeter) by 3 (the number of sides).

Each side is equal to 20 meters.

Finding the area of the triangle

To find the area of a triangle you need the formula:

A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height.

b = 20

h = 17.3

Multiply what is in the parenthesis first

Multiply 346 by 1

Divide 346 by 2

a) false; the points do not have to be in a straight line.

step-by-step explanation:

the points could be in the shape of a triangle

b is incorrect

c is incorrect because it is saying the immediately don't form one when they are capable of doing so

d is incorrect
