7. 6 Finding the area of an EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE with side 20. 1. An equilateral triangle is also equiangular, so each angle measures 180° 3 =60° 2. Let’s draw an Altitude that is also an Angle Bisector and Median so each half of the angle is 60° 2 =30° and the side is 20 2 =10 each half. 20 3. So, we have a 30°-60°-90° triangle and we may use it to find the height of the equilateral triangle which is the unknown leg of this right triangle. 2 3S S S 60° 30° 10= =10 3 10 3 Click to continue the solution… 60° 4.
