Step-by-step explanation:
Area = 1/2 base * height
so we need to calculate the height:
this is easy for an equilateral triangle, since you can bisect any such triangle into two identical 30:60:90 triangles.
The ratio of lengths of a 30:60:90 triangle is 1:√3:2.

- this is easy for an equilateral triangle, since you can bisect any such triangle into two identical 30:60:90 triangles.
- The ratio of lengths of a 30:60:90 triangle is 1:√3:2. The side of the equilateral triangle is 4, and we divided the base in half when we bisected the triangle, so that give us a length of 2, so our triangle must have sides of 2, 4, and 2√3; thus we have our height.
