    It is 6o inches all together because if you take 20 and add it three times because a triabgle has three sides then you will get 60

    The angles in an equilateral triangle are all 60 degrees

    and the altitude will be obtained from the equation

    tan 60 = a / 10 where a = altitude and 1/2 base of triangle = 1/2 * 20 = 10

    a = 10 tan 60 = 10 sqrt3

    so the area = 10 * 10 sqrt3 = 100 sqrt3 in^2

    or 173 in^2 to neraest in^2
