Formula

perimeter=3s; height=(√3/2)s; area=(√3/4)s^2; inradius=s/(2√3); circumradius=s/√3

Where:

  • s=s
Equilateral TriangleAn equilateral triangle with three equal sides s, showing its height, inradius and circumradius.hsssFormulash = (√3/2)sA = (√3/4)s²Perimeter = 3sInradius = s/(2√3)Circumradius = s/√3
All three sides and angles of an equilateral triangle are equal, so every measurement derives from the single side length s.

Worked Examples

Side length 6

Simple integer side.

  1. 1P=3s=18
  2. 2h=(√3/2)6
  3. 3A=(√3/4)36
Final Answer: perimeter=18, height≈5.196152, area≈15.588457, inradius≈1.732051, circumradius≈3.464102

Side length 10

Larger triangle.

  1. 1Apply all five formulas
Final Answer: perimeter=30, height≈8.660254, area≈43.30127, inradius≈2.886751, circumradius≈5.773503

Decimal side length

s=2.5.

  1. 1Use same formulas with decimal s
Final Answer: perimeter=7.5, height≈2.165064, area≈2.706329
