Question:

The side of an equilateral triangle is 4 cm. What is its area?

Options:

$6\sqrt{3}cm^2$

$8\sqrt{3}cm^2$

$9\sqrt{3}cm^2$

$4\sqrt{3}cm^2$

Correct Answer:

$4\sqrt{3}cm^2$

Explanation:

The side of a equilateral triangle = 4 cm.

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

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

= \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{4}\) × 16 = $4\sqrt{3}cm^2$
