Question

The area of an equilateral triangle is $4 \sqrt{3} {cm}^{2}$ . Its perimeter is
(a) 9 cm
(b) 12 cm
(c) $4 \sqrt{3}$ cm
(d) $\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{4}$ cm

Open in App

Solution

(b) 12 cm

Area of an equilateral triangle $= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^{2}$ (where a is the length of the side)
Thus, we have:
$4 \sqrt{3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^{2}$
$\Rightarrow a^{2} = 16 \Rightarrow a = 4 cm$

Perimeter of the equilateral triangle = 3a $= 3 \times 4 = 12 cm$
