For an equilateral triangle,
\n" ); document.write( "Area is given by
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "where s is the length of the side
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "Clear till here? Good.
\n" );
document.write( "Now we have to take factors twice.
\n" );
document.write( "So we get
\n" );
document.write( " ........[first time]
\n" );
document.write( "......[second time]
\n" );
document.write( "......[simplified]
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore we get our value of 's' as
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "Now base and side are equal,therefore
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "So we have our values as
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "We can verify this using the [A=1/2bh] formula,
\n" );
document.write( "Area=1/2*s*h
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "And thus we know that our values for s and h are correct.
