Given information: An equilateral triangle such that x , y and z are the perpendicular distances from any point inside the triangle to each side.
Calculation:
The triangle drawn below is an equilateral triangle.
Figure (1)
Let
Draw a line from
The formula to find the area of triangle is:
So,
The area of
Observation is that the sum of the distances from any interior point to the sides of the equilateral
Therefore, the equilateral triangle is shown in Figure (1) and the value of
