Question 1 Report

Calculate the area of an equilateral triangle of side 8cm
Answer Details
To calculate the area of an equilateral triangle, we can use the formula: Area = (sqrt(3) / 4) * (side length)^2 Since we know that the side length is 8cm, we can substitute it into the formula: Area = (sqrt(3) / 4) * (8cm)^2 Simplifying this expression, we get: Area = (sqrt(3) / 4) * 64cm^2 Area = (16sqrt(3)) cm^2 Therefore, the area of the equilateral triangle is 16sqrt(3) square centimeters. So the answer is 16√3.
