Write the area A of an equilateral triangle as a function of the length s of its sides.

STEP 1: Find the base of the equilateral triangle in terms of s.

STEP 2: The height of an equilateral triangle can be found via the Pythagorean theorem. Use this information to find h in terms of s.

Write the area A of an equilateral triangle as a function of the length s of its sides. Draw the triangle; label each side "2s". Draw the altitute; it will bisect the base into s and s. ... Therefore, the area is equal to the measure of the bisected side times the measure of the altitude, quantity divided by 2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Each side including     the base is s.

Part B

Use 1/2 the base to find the height. The height meets the base at 90 degrees which gives you the right to use c^2 = b^2 + a^2

The hypotenuse is s

The base is 1/2s

h^2 = s^2 - (1/2s)^2

h^2 = s^2 - 1/4 s^2

h^2 = 3s^2/4

h = sqrt(3)/2 *s

Area = 1/2 * s * sqrt(3)/2 s

Area = 1/4 * s^2 * sqrt(3)
