Question

Find the measure of each side of an equilateral triangle whose area is √3 cm
STEP BY STEP​

Answer 1

s = 2 cm

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Area of equilateral triangle = √3 cm

Mathematically, the area of an equilateral triangle is given by the formula;

A = √3 * s²/4

Where, s represents the sides of length.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

√3 = √3 * s²/4

Dividing both sides by √3, we have;

1 = s²/4

Cross-multiplying, we have;

4 = s²

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

s = √4

s = 2 cm
