Hans Raj 6 years, 5 months ago

let ABC is a an equilateral triangle with side AB=BC=CA= X

and AD = altitude = 3 root 3

AD is perpendicular to BC and BD=DC=X/2

Also ABD  is a right Ld triangle with AB=X , BD=X/2 , AD= 3 root 3

AB2 = BD2 + AD2

X2 = (X/2)2 + (3ROOT3)2

3/4 X2= 9X3

X2=36

X=6

AREA=1/2 X BASE X HEIGHT

         = 1/2 x BC x AD

          = 1/2 x Xx 3root3

         = 1/2 x 6 x 3root3

        = 9 root3 cm2 

Check ur answer by HERON'S RULE s=6+6+6/2 = 9  , area = root 9(9-6)(9-6)(9-6) = root 9x3x3x3 = 9root3 ok r u happy
