This should be easy but I'm getting tripped up for some reason. If the area of an equilateral triangle is x square meters and the perimeter is x meters, then what is the length of one side of the triangle in meters? Thanks in advance
Side of the triangle= s
Area of the triangle= s^2sqrt(3)/4= x
Perimeter of the triangle= 3s= x
s^2sqrt(3)/4=3s
s^2sqrt(3)=12s
s^2sqrt(3)-12s=0
s(s*sqrt(3)-12)=0
s*sqrt(3)-12=0
s=12/sqrt(3) or 4sqrt(3) meters.
