Answer:

....an equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides, if the eperimeter = 6cm each side = 2cm

In an equilateral triangle, the four remarkable straight lines relating to the same vertex (median*, median, height and bisector) coincide.

equilateral triangle ABC vertex A

AH height from A to BC,

according to the properties of the equilateral triangle, AH =height, median from A to BC--->BH=HC

area = (base*height)/2

base =BC, height=AH

we calculate AH in the right-angled triangle AHB:

AH²=AB²-BH²

AH² = 2²-1²

AH = V3

Area =(2*V3)/2 =2V3/2=V3cm²≈1.732052...1.73cm²
