What is the side length of an equilateral triangle whose area is radical 3 cm squared?
-----------
Area of an equilateral triangle with side lenght s:
Area = b*h/2
Area+=+s%2Asqrt%28s%5E2+-+%28s%2F2%29%5E2%29
Area+=+s%2Asqrt%28s%5E2+-+s%5E2%2F4%29
Area+=+s%2Asqrt%283s%5E2%2F4%29
Area+=+s%2A%28s%2F2%29sqrt%283%29

PS Don't use "radical 3"
Use sqrt(3)
