plss brainliest my answer..
Answer:
The area of the given equilateral triangle is 230.94cm².
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height(h) = 20cm
To find:
Area of the triangle(A) = ?
Formula:
Area of equilateral triangle = (√3/4)s²
Step 1:
The height of the equilateral triangle is given to be 20cm.
We know that the height of an equilateral triangle is √3/2 times the length of its side. Therefore,
Height = √3/2 × Side
h = (√3/2 ) × s
20 = (√3/2 ) × s
s = (20×2)/√3
s = 40/√3
Step 2:
We know that the area of an equilateral triangle is given as follows:
A(equilateral triangle) = (√3/4)s²
A(equilateral triangle) = (√3/4) (40/√3)²
A(equilateral triangle) = (√3×40×40)/(4×√3×√3)
A(equilateral triangle) = (1600)/(4√3)
A(equilateral triangle) = 400/√3
A(equilateral triangle) = 230.94 cm²
Therefore, the area of the equilateral triangle whose height is 20cm is 230.94cm².
