Find the area of an equilateral triangle whose side is $6$ cm.
A$6\sqrt{3}$ cm²
B$9\sqrt{3}$ cm²
C$12\sqrt{3}$ cm²
D$18$ cm²
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. $9\sqrt{3}$ cm²
Area of equilateral triangle $= \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times \text{side}^2 = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 36 = 9\sqrt{3}$ cm².
