Frequently asked questions

Use A = √3 ⁄ 4 × side². A side of 6 gives an area of about 15.59 square units.

The height is √3 ⁄ 2 × side. For a side of 6 it is about 5.20 units.

All three sides are equal and all three angles are 60 degrees.

Since all sides are equal, the perimeter is simply three times the side length.
