How it works

  1. Enter the side length of the equilateral triangle in the input field.
  2. Choose your preferred unit (mm, cm, m, km, in, ft, yd).
  3. The perimeter is calculated as P = 3 × side.
  4. The height is calculated as h = (√3 / 2) × side.
  5. The area is calculated as A = (√3 / 4) × side².
  6. Copy any result with the copy button next to it.
