Question:

What is the area (in sq cm) of an equilateral triangle of side 25 cm?

Options:

\(\frac{624}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\) 

\(\frac{625}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\) 

\(\frac{729}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\) 

\(\frac{144}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\) 

Correct Answer:

\(\frac{625}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\) 

Explanation:

Area of equilateral triangle = \(\frac{ \sqrt{3}}{4}\)a2

                 = \(\frac{ \sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 25 × 25

                 = \(\frac{625}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\) cm2
