Find the area of an equilateral triangle (regular 3-gon) with the given measurement. 6-inch side.

Answer 1

15.5884 sq in

Explanation:

The area of an equilateral triangle can be found by using the following formula:

`(√(3) )/(4) s^(2)`

Where 's' represents the length of one side of the triangle.

In this case, s = 6 in, therefore, the area is:

`(√(3) )/(4)6^(2) = 15.5884 sq in`
