If the side of an equilateral triangle is 24 cm, then what is its area?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 144 √3 cm2.

Side of equilateral triangle = 24 cm

Area of equilateral triangle = 34a2{\sqrt{3} \over 4} a^2

Area of the given triangle = 34(24)2{\sqrt{3} \over 4} (24)^2  = 1443144 \sqrt{3}

Hence the area of the equilateral triangle is 1443144 \sqrt{3} .
