Question

Find the area of an equilateral triangle with sides of length 24 inches in simplest
form?

Answer 1

B. 144√3 in².

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Sides of length = 24 inches

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;

A = √3 * 24²/4

A = √3 * 576/4

A = √3 * 144

A = 144√3 in²
