To solve, simply use the formula for the perimeter of an equilateral triangle. Thus,
Remember, the special property of an equilateral triangle is that all of its sides are the same length so, you can either add the side length 3 times or multiply it by 3.

To find the perimeter of a triangle, we will use the following formula:
where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle.
So, in the triangle
we can see the lengths of the sides are 11cm, 12cm, and 6cm. Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get

To solve, simply use the formula for the area of a triangle. Thus,
To remember this formula, simply realize that two triangles added together would leave you with a rectangle, so a triangle's area must be half the area of a rectangle.
