Question:

If the area of an equilateral triangle is 45\(\sqrt {3}\) sq. cm.  Find side of the triangle.

Options:

 5\(\sqrt {5}\) cm

7\(\sqrt {5}\) cm

 6\(\sqrt {6}\) cm

 6\(\sqrt {5}\) cm

Correct Answer:

 6\(\sqrt {5}\) cm

Explanation:

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

⇒ 45\(\sqrt {3}\) =  \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{4} a^2\)

⇒ 45 × 4 = a2

⇒ a = 6\(\sqrt {5}\) cm
