Median in equilateral triangle is perpendicular bisector of the side.
when side is a cm, then length of median will be
x = √[(a)²-(a/2)²]
=√(3a²/4)
=(a/2)√3
⇒x = (a/2)√3
⇒a = 2x/√3
now. area = (√3/4)a²
= (√3/4)×(2x/√3)²
= x²/√3 cm²
when side is a cm, then length of median will be
x = √[(a)²-(a/2)²]
=√(3a²/4)
=(a/2)√3
⇒x = (a/2)√3
⇒a = 2x/√3
now. area = (√3/4)a²
= (√3/4)×(2x/√3)²
= x²/√3 cm²

Answer:
x²√3/3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Median in equilateral triangle is perpendicular bisector of the side.when side is a cm, then length of median will bex = √[(a)²-(a/2)²] =√(3a²/4) =(a/2)√3⇒x = (a/2)√3⇒a = 2x/√3now. area = (√3/4)a² = (√3/4)×(2x/√3)² = x²√3/3 cm
