A square and an equilateral triangle have equal perimeters.If a diagonal of the square is 24√2,then find the area of the triangle
Answers
256√3 unit^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We know, for a square of side a, length of diagonal is a√2.
So, let the side of this square be 'a'.
=> a√2 = length of diagonal
=> a√2 = 24√2
=> a = 24, it means that the length of square is 24.
Since triangle & square have same perimeter,
=> perimeter of square = perimeter of triangle
=> 4a = 3* side of ∆
=> 4(24) = 3 * side of ∆
=> 4(24/3) = side of ∆
=> 32 = side of ∆
As, we know, area of equilateral ∆ is √3/4 side². Thus,
Area of ∆ = √3/4 *32² = 256√3 unit²
hey buddy here is your answer
Let the side of the square is X
Diagonal of square=X√2
ATQ,
X√2=24√2
=>X=24
then side of the square = 24 units
then area of the square= 96 units
It is given that perimeter of the equilateral triangle= perimeter of square
hence area of equilateral triangle = 96 units
then each side of the triangle = 96/3 = 32 units
Hence area of the equilateral triangle = (√3/4)(32*32)
= 256√3 units^2
