Answer:
Since it is an equilateral triangle. So all 3 altitudes of the triangle is the same.
So its side 'a' can be calculated first
a^2 = 3^2 + (a/2)^2
=> a^2 = 9 + a^2/4
=> 3a^2 /4 = 9
=> a^2 = 36/3 = 12
=> a = √12 = 2 √3 cm
=> area of triangle = 1/2 * 2 √3 * 3
= 3 √3 cm^2 OR 5.196 cm^2 ( approx)
