Question:

The area of an equilateral triangle having sides 20m, is:-  

Options:

400

400\(\sqrt {3}\)

100\(\sqrt {3}\)

250\(\sqrt {3}\)

Correct Answer:

100\(\sqrt {3}\)

Explanation:

Area of an equilateral triangle = \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{4} × a^2\)

                                            = \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{4} × 20^2\)

                                            = \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{4} × 400\)

                                            = \(100 \sqrt {3}\)
