In an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal. Let the lenght of side be a unit.

Then, Semi Perimeter (s) = (a + a + a)/2 = 3a/2

Usinf Heron's formula,

Area of equilateral triangle = [s{s - a}{s - b}{s - c}] 1/2

                                           = [3a/2{(3a/2) - a}{(3a/2) - a}{(3a/2) - a}] 1/2

                                           = [3a/2{a/2}{a/2{{a/2}] 1/2

                                           = [3a4/16] 1/2

                                           = (3)1/2a2/4

Let take all sides be a

a=a

b=a

c=a
