Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

as said in the question that the triangle has three equal sides. i.e. this is an equilateral triangle. So,

let us consider one side of the triangle to be x . and 3x( x+x+x) should be equal to 1/5

[tex]x+x+x = \frac{1}{5}\\3x=\frac{1}{5}\\x = \frac{1}{5} / 3\\x = \frac{1}{5} * \frac{1}{3}\\x = \frac{1}{15}[/tex]
