Answer:


16√(3)\:\mathrm{units^2}

Explanation:

The area of an equilateral triangle with side length
s is equal to
(√(3))/(4)s^2. Since the perimeter is 24 units and there are three equal sides to an equilateral triangle, each side is
24/ 3=8 units.

Substituting in this value, we get:


(√(3))/(4)8^2=(64√(3))/(4)=\boxed{16√(3)}
