MCQ
The area of an equilateral triangle is $36\sqrt{3}\text{cm}^2.$ Its perimeter is:
  • $36\ cm$
  • B
    $12\sqrt{3}\text{cm}$
  • C
    $24\ cm$
  • D
    $30\ cm$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$36\ cm$

Area of equilateral triangle $=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times(\text{side})^2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times(\text{side})^2=36\sqrt{3}$
$\Rightarrow(\text{Side})^2=144$
$\Rightarrow\text{Side}=12\text{cm}$
Now,
Perimeter $= 3 × 12 = 36\ cm$
