first find the length of the side of the of the equilateral triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so radius =6

nope, Triangle DRS is equilateral its area is 144 cm ^2 now, area of a triangle is given by A=b*h/2 So...the height of an equilateral triangle is given by an expression coming from pitagoras' theorem and there you calculate the side RS measure.
