|dw:1433337135546:dw| use the pyathagorean to solve for the missing side which will become your height in the area equation later

anonymous · Answer

Area = $$\sqrt{3}/4(a^2)$$

anonymous · Answer

27.71 is it but you can round so =)

anonymous · Answer

use sinus 60 degrees to find the area. All the sides are the same! So 8 multiplied by 8 then multiplied by sinus (60) then divide by 2 =27.71281292
