Definition

An equilateral triangle is a triangle with all sides congruent.

Properties

  1. All sides are congruent
  2. All angles are congruent
  3. All the  Generic Triangle formulas are valid
  4. The height relative to the base divides the shape in two congruent right triangles. For these are valid the  Right Triangle formulas
Equilateral Triangle

Equilateral Triangle Formulas

Data Formula
Perimeter 2p = S × 3
Area A = (S × h) / 2
Side S = 2p / 3
Side (with height) S = (2 × h) / √3
Height (with side) h = (S√3) / 2
Height (from perimeter) h = 2p / (2√3)
Perimeter (with height) A = 2 × h × √3
Area (with side) A = (√3 / 4) × S2
Area (with height) A = h2 / √3
Side S = (A × 2) / h
Height h = (A × 2) / S

Equilateral Triangle - Inscribed circumference

Data Formula
Inscribed radius (with side) r = [1 / (2√3)] × S
Inscribed radius (with height) r = 1/3 × h
Side S = 2r√3

Perimeter 2p = 6r√3
Area A = 3r2√3

Equilateral Triangle - Circumscribed circumference

Data Formula
Circumscribed radius (with side) r = (√3 / 3) × S
Circumscribed radius (with height) r = 2/3 × h
Side S = R√3
Height h = 3/2 × R
Perimeter 2p = 3√3R
Area A = [(3√3) / 4] × R2
