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.

What is an Equilateral Triangle?

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
