Question:

What is the area (in sq cm) of an equilateral triangle of side 35 cm?

Options:

\(\frac{484}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\)

\(\frac{625}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\)

\(\frac{1225}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\)

\(\frac{1228}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\)

Correct Answer:

\(\frac{1225}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\)

Explanation:

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

                 = \(\frac{ \sqrt{3}}{4}\) × 35 × 35

                 = \(\frac{1225}{4}\)\(\sqrt{3}\) cm2
