The height of the equilateral triangle is 6cm what will be it's area
Answers
height = 6cm
let the sides are a,b,c where a=b=c=x
x²=6²+(1/2x)²
x²-1/4x²=36
3x²/4=36
x²=36*4/3
x²=48
x=4√3
area = 1/2*2√3*6
area=6√3cm²

equilateral triangle = all sides have the same length
.
STEP 1: Define x:
Let x be the length of side of the equilateral triangle
.............................................................................................
STEP 2: Solve x:
Using Pythagoras' Theorem, a² + b² = c²:
a² + b² = c²:
(6)² + (x/2)² = x²
36 + x²/4 = x²
144 + x² = 4x²
3x² = 144
x² = 48
x = √48
x = 4√3 cm
.............................................................................................
STEP 3: Find the area:
area = 1/2 x base x height
area = 1/2 x 4√3 x 6
area = 12√3 cm²
.............................................................................................
Answer: The area of the equilateral triangle is 12√3 cm²
