The area of an equilateral triangle is 36\(\sqrt {3}\) cm2. The length of each sides of the triangle?

Options:

12 cm

10 cm

8 cm

6 cm

Correct Answer:

12 cm

Explanation:

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

⇒ 36\(\sqrt {3}\) =  \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{4}\) a2

⇒ a = \(\sqrt {36 × 4}\)  = 12 cm
