The area of an equilateral triangle is 4 $\sqrt{3}$ cm². Find the side (in cm) of the triangle.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 4.

Given that

The area of an equilateral triangle is 4 $\sqrt{3}$ cm²

The area of an equilateral triangle = $\sqrt{3}$ /4 (side)²

$\sqrt{3}$ /4 (side)² = 4 $\sqrt{3}$

⇒ side² = 16

side = 4 cm
