Explanation:

GIVEN:-

The Perimeter of Equilateral triangle = 60cm

UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT:-

According to the question,

To find the height of the triangle,

Perimeter of Equilateral triangle = Area of Equilateral triangle.

FORMULA USED:-


60 = ( √(3) )/(4) a {}^(2) \\

REQUIRED ANSWER:-


60 * 4 = \sqrt{3a {}^(2) }


a {}^(2) = 240 √(3) \\


a = 120 √(3) cm

SO, The Exact height of the triangle is 120√3cm.
