Question:

What is the area (in sq cm) of an equilateral triangle of side 13 cm?

Options:

\(\frac{169}{5}\)\(\sqrt{3}\)

\(\frac{169}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\)

\(\frac{196}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\)

\(\frac{225}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\)

Correct Answer:

\(\frac{169}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\)

Explanation:

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

                 = \(\frac{ \sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 13 × 12

                 = \(\frac{169}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\) cm2
