Answer:
hi
Step-by-step explanation:
Side of an equilateral triangle=2x cm
Also x√3 =48
x = 48/√3
Area of equilateral triangle= √3/4(side)^2
=√3/4(2x)^2
=√3/4*4*(48/√3)^2
=48/√3 cm^2

Area of the triangle = 16√3 cm²
Given:
Each side of an equilateral triangle is 2x
And x√3= √48
[In given problem x√3=√48 might be wrong the corrected one is
x√3= √48 ]
To find:
Area of the triangle
Solution:
Given that x√3= √48
⇒ (x√3)² = (√48)² do squaring on both sides ]
⇒ 3x² = 48
⇒ x² = 16
⇒ x = 4
From given data, side of triangle = 2x
⇒ 2x = 2(4) = 8
As we know
Area of equilateral = √3/4 a²
Area of the triangle = √3/4 × (8)² = √3 × 16 = 16√3 cm²
Area of the triangle = 16√3 cm²
