1. Height of the equilateral triangle is: √3 units
2. Area of the equilateral triangle = √3 units²
3. Area = √3/4 x², when each side is x.
<h3>What is an Equilateral Triangle?</h3>A triangle that has all its three sides equal in length, is referred to as an equilateral triangle.
1. Given the each side measures 2 units, and h is the height, applying the Pythagorean theorem, we would have:
h = √(2² - 1²)
h = √(4 - 1)
h = √3
2. Area of the equilateral triangle = 1/2bh = 1/2(2)(√3)
Area of the equilateral triangle = √3 units²
3. If x is the side length of the equilateral triangle, we would have:
height (h) = √[x² - (x/2)²] = √[x² - x²/4] = √(3x²/4) = √3/2x
Area = 1/2bh = 1/2(x)(√3/2x) = √3/4 x²
