Question:

If the side of an equilateral triangle is 20 cm, then what is its area?

Options:

$110 \sqrt{3}$ cm2

$125 \sqrt{3}$ cm2

$200 \sqrt{3}$ cm2

$100 \sqrt{3}$ cm2

Correct Answer:

$100 \sqrt{3}$ cm2

Explanation:

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

Side = 20cm

Then the area = \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{4}\) × (20)2

= $100 \sqrt{3}$ cm2
