      Question

      The altitude of an equilateral triangle is 6√3 cm.

      Find the area of the equilateral triangle.
      A 30√3 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 12√3 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 18√3 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 36√3 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let each side of the equilateral triangle be β€˜a’ cm

      Therefore, (a 2  – a 2 /4) = (6√3) 2

      Or, 3a 2 /4 = 108

      Or, a 2 Β = 144

      Or, a = 12 cm

      Therefore, area of the equilateral triangle = √3a 2 /4

      Or, area of the equilateral triangle = (√3 Γ— 144)/4 = 36√3 cm 2
