Answer:
The area of equilateral ∆ is 27.71 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Altitude of equilateral ∆ = 4√3 cm
=> √3/2 a = 4√3
=>√3a = 8√3
=> a = 8 cm
Area of equilateral ∆ = √3/4a²
=> Area of equilateral ∆ = √3/4 × 8 × 8
=> Area of equilateral ∆ = 16√3
=> Area of equilateral ∆ = 27.71 cm²
Hence the area of equilateral ∆ is 27.71 cm²

Answer:
27.71 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Altitude of equilateral triangle = 4√3
To find : Area of equilateral triangle
Let side of equilateral triangle be "A"
→ Altitude of equilateral ∆ = 4√3
=> √3/2 x a = 4√3
=> a = 4√3 x 2/√3
=> a = 4 x 2 = 8 Cm
Hence , Each side of equilateral triangle is 8 cm
★Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 x (a)²
=> √3/4 x (8)²
=> √3/4 x 64
=> √3 x 16
=> 16√3
=> 27.71 cm²
