The area of an equilateral triangle is numerically equal to the length of one of its sides. What is the perimeter of the triangle, in units? Express your answer in simplest radical form.
Here was my approach:
I drew a equilateral triangle and labeled x as the altitude and y as one of the side. I put (xy)/2=y
This gave me y=0, but thats impossible. Help anyone?
