Answer:
30.7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
An equilateral triangle with area 43.5 has a height of 8.68 not 8.5
I will do the problem as written even though it is not a possible equilateral triangle
---------------------------------------------
a = (1/2)bh
43.5 = (1/2)b(8.5)
43.5 = 4.25b
b = 43.5/4.25
b = 10.2352941176
-----------------------
p = 3b
p = 3 * 10.2352941176
p = 30.7058823528
~ 30.7 ft
