    Answer:

      36√3 cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 2√3 times the height.

      P = (2√3)h

      P = (2√3)(18 cm) = 36√3 cm

    _____

    A little more detail

    The hypotenuse of a 30°-60°-90° triangle is 2/√3 times the longer leg. Here, the longer leg is 18 cm, so the side length of the equilateral triangle is …

      18(2/√3) = 12√3 . . . cm

    The equilateral triangle perimeter is 3 times that, or 36√3 cm.
