An Equilateral Triangle has sides that all measure 10 inches. What is
the area of the triangle?
The area of a triangle can be determined by using the formula,
A = bh where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.
What is the measure of the "base" of this triangle?
What is the measure of the "height" of this triangle?
What is the area of this triangle?

Step-by-step explanation:

1. base of triangle: it is an equilateral triangle, so any side of the triangle you take is the base, (usually the largest side of the triangle is the base)

so that would be => 10 inches,

2. a property of an equilateral triangle is that , the median of the triangle coincides with the height of the triangle,

therefore, the height bisects the base and makes a right triangle with another side, therefore by using the Pythagoras theorem, we find it to be 8.66(approx)

now,

area of the triangle would be (putting the values we just found in the formula given)

=> [(10)(8.66)]/ 2

=>43.3 square inches

answer is 144
