A) 25√3 B) 16√2 C) 25√2 D) 16√3

Answer 1

Answer:

your answer to the question is (D) 16√3 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of an equilateral triangle is =$\sqrt{3}a^{2} /4$ (where a is the side of the triangle).

area = √3 /4 × 8² cm²

→ √3 /4 ×8×8 cm²

→16 √3 cm²

∴ the area of the triangle is 16√3 cm².
