Answer:
16√3 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that perimeter of square = perimeter of equilateral triangle.
4a = 3a' .................(1)
Diagonal of square is 6√2 cm.
√2 a = 6√2
a = 6 cm { here, a is side of square }
Substitute value of a in equation (1)
→ 4(6) = 3a'
→ 24 = 3a'
→ 8 = a'
Therefore, the side of the equilateral triangle is 8 cm.
Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 a²
= √3/4 (8)²
= √3/4 × 64
= 16√3 cm²
Hence, the area of the triangle is 16√3 cm².
