    Find the area of the equilateral triangle.
    A 30тИЪ3┬аsq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12тИЪ3┬аsq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18тИЪ3┬аsq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 36тИЪ3┬аsq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let each side of the equilateral triangle be тАШaтАЩ cm

    Therefore, (a 2 ┬атАУ a 2 /4) = (6тИЪ3) 2

    Or, 3a 2 /4 = 108

    Or, a 2 ┬а= 144

    Or, a = 12 cm

    Therefore, area of the equilateral triangle = тИЪ3a 2 /4

    Or, area of the equilateral triangle = (тИЪ3 ├Ч 144)/4 = 36тИЪ3 cm 2
