Question

What is the exact area of an equilateral triangle with sides of length 10 m?

Answer 1

50
`m^(2)`

Explanation:

Since an equilateral triangle has sides that are all the same length, this means we only need the length of one side to know all the other sides. Since one side is 10m we can use the equation (b*h)/2 to figure out the area where b is the base and h is the height. Since we know both the base and the height we insert that value into both. After we put the values in, we get this: (10*10)/2. Solving this equation we get 50.
