Transcription for Educational Website:

(c) Determine the area (in square centimeters) and perimeter (in centimeters) of the equilateral triangle. (Round your area to one decimal place.)

[Image of an equilateral triangle]
- The side length of the triangle is labeled as 8 cm.

Below the triangle:

- A box labeled "area" is empty, with units \( \text{cm}^2 \) indicated.
- A box labeled "perimeter" has the value 24, with units cm indicated and a check mark beside it.

(d) Determine the area (in square centimeters) and perimeter (in centimeters) of the circle. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

Explanation of Diagram:

The diagram shows an equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 cm. The task is to calculate the area of the triangle and verify the perimeter. The perimeter is correctly calculated as 24 cm, since the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is three times the length of one side (3 × 8 cm). The area box is awaiting a calculated value.
