Question:

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 75 cm. Find its area.

Options:

$\frac{625\sqrt{2}}{4} cm^2$

$\frac{625\sqrt{3}}{4} cm^2$

$\frac{625\sqrt{3}}{3} cm^2$

$\frac{125\sqrt{3}}{4} cm^2$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{625\sqrt{3}}{4} cm^2$

Explanation:

We know that,

The perimeter of a equilateral triangle = 3(side)

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

We have,

Perimeter of a equilateral triangle = 75 cm

Then the side ,

3(side) = 75

side = 25cm

The area of a equilateral triangle = \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{4}\) × (25)2

= \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{4}\) × 625 = $\frac{625\sqrt{3}}{4} cm^2$
