Answers
Given :
A square and an equilateral triangle have equal perimeter
The diagonal of the square is 12 cm
To Find :
The area of triangle
Solution :
According to question
Let The side of square = S cm
Let The side of equilateral triangle = s cm
square and an equilateral triangle have equal perimeter
∵ The perimeter of square = 4 × side
= 4 × S
And
The perimeter of equilateral triangle = 3 × side
= 3 × s
∵ The diagonal of the square = 12 cm ....1
∵ The diagonal of the square = side × √2 .....2
From eq1 and eq2
12 cm = side × √2
So, Side of square = S= cm
Since, A square and an equilateral triangle have equal perimeter
So, 4 × S = 3 × s
Or, 4 × = 3 × s
Or, s =
i.e The side of equilateral triangle = s = cm
Since The Area of equilateral triangle = A = × (side)²
= × ( )²
= cm²
Hence, The Area of equilateral triangle is cm² . Answer
This is ur answer**********************************************************************************************
