Answer:
38.68 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of an equilateral triangle : P = 3a
Area of an equilateral triangle : A = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}a^2[/tex]
a = side length
The area is given, solve for a.
[tex]72= \frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}a^2[/tex]
[tex]a = 12.894839[/tex]
The side length is 12.894839 centimeters.
Find the perimeter.
P = 3a
P = 3(12.894839)
P = 38.684517 ≈ 38.68
The perimeter is 38.68 centimeters.
