Explanation:

We know that the area of an equilateral triangle of side a cm is


  • \rm \: Equilateral \: Triangle = \cfrac{ √(3) }{4} {a}^(2) \: cm

Let a cm here be 9√3 then we could get our solution.


\rm\implies \rm 9 √(3) = \cfrac{ √(3) }{4} \: a {}^(2)


\implies \rm \: \cfrac{ √(3) }{4} {a}^(2) = 9 √(3)


\implies \rm \: a {}^(2) = 36


\implies \rm \: a = √(36) = √(6 * 6)


\implies \rm \: a = 6 \: cm

Thus, the side of the equilateral triangle is 6 cm.
