the length is already given ..what do you have to find?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
typo, excuse me.
OpenStudy (diyadiya):
Okay
\[\text{Area of equilateral \triangle }= side^2 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\]
OpenStudy (diyadiya):
Here Area is given and let the side be x
now solve for x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry, can we back up for a a minute.

What happened to 1/2 b*h??
OpenStudy (diyadiya):
1/2 * b* h is the area of a Right triangle (one of the angle is \(90^o\) )
OpenStudy (anonymous):
|dw:1334433951410:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do I need to do something like that?
OpenStudy (diyadiya):
No ,you don't need a figure to solve this, particular, problem.

Here
Area=10.2 \(m^2\)
Formula:\[\text{Area of equilateral \triangle }= side^2 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\]
let the length of the side be \(x\) m
\[\large 10.2 = x^2 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\]
OpenStudy (diyadiya):
Understood this ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
