 If the side of an equilateral triangle is 20 cm, then what is its area?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 100√3 cm2.

Side, a = 20 cm

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

Using the given value in equation (i), we get

Area = 34×(20)2{\sqrt{3} \over 4} \times (20)^2 = 1003100 \sqrt{3} cm2 .
