Problem Solving (PS) | If the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is P, what is the altitude

Solution

•Perimeter of an equilateral triangle = P

•The altitude of the triangle, in terms of P

•Length of each side = \(\frac{P}{3}\)
•Therefore, length of the altitude = \(\frac{√3}{2} * \frac{P}{3} = \frac{P√3}{6}\)
