An equilateral triangle is a type of triangle where all three sides are of equal length and all three interior angles are equal, measuring 60 degrees each. This symmetry gives equilateral triangles unique properties, such as:
1. **Perimeter**: The perimeter of an equilateral triangle can be calculated by summing the lengths of all three sides, or simply multiplying the length of one side by three.
2. **Area**: The area \( A \) of an equilateral triangle can be calculated using the formula:
\[
A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2
\]
where \( a \) is the length of a side.
3. **Symmetry**: An equilateral triangle has three lines of symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 3.
4. **Circumcircle and Incircle**: The circumradius (the radius of the circumcircle that passes through all three vertices) and inradius (the radius of the incircle that touches all three sides) of an equilateral triangle can be expressed in terms of the side length.
These properties make equilateral triangles significant in geometry and various mathematical applications.
