Hi aimtoteach,
It's better to make the mistakes now (during practice) than to make them on Test Day. The easiest way to 'fix' these types of little mistakes is to add a bit more detail/labeling to your work. One of the common wrong answers on Test Day is a 'partial work' wrong answer - meaning that the answer you came up with here could be among the answer choices, so you wouldn't even realize that you made a mistake. You've got the intelligence; now you have to add the consistent 'precision' to your work.

Let the side of triangle be a meter
Area of equilateral triangle = x square meters = √3*a^2/4
perimeter = x meters = 3a
x/x = (√3*a^2/4)/3a
(√3*a)/(3*4) = 1
a = 4√3
Answer E
