Let ABC be a equilateral triangle
Let the side of equilateral triangle be a cm
P is a point in the interior of the triangle. PQ is perpendicular to BC and PR is perpendicular to CA and PS is perpendicular to AB.
Let PS= 14 cm, PQ=10cm, and PR=6 cm 
Area of triangle ABC= area of APB+ area of BPC+ area of CPA
√3/4*a²=1/2*AB*PS+1/2*BC*PQ +1/2*CA*PR
√3/4*a²=1/2*a*14+1/2*a*10+1/2*a*6
√3/4*a²=7a+5a+3a
√3/4*a²=15a
a=60/√3
Therefore side of equilateral side are 60/√3
Area =√3/4*(60/√3)²=√3/4*(60*60/3)=300√3

Hope I helped!!
