Question
Find the area of an equilateral triangle having each side x cm.
✓
Answer
Area of an equilateral triangle, say A having each side a cm is given by:
$\text{A}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\text{a}^2$
Area of the given equilateral triangle having each equal side equal to x cm is given by:
$\text{a} = \text{x cm}$
$\text{A}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(\text{x})^2$
$\text{A}=\frac{\sqrt{3}\text{x}^2}{4}\text{cm}^2$
$\text{A}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\text{a}^2$
Area of the given equilateral triangle having each equal side equal to x cm is given by:
$\text{a} = \text{x cm}$
$\text{A}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(\text{x})^2$
$\text{A}=\frac{\sqrt{3}\text{x}^2}{4}\text{cm}^2$
