Find the area of an equilateral triangle (regular 3-gon) with the given measurement. 6-inch side.

Answer 1

Answer:

15.5884 sq in

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of an equilateral triangle can be found by using the following formula:

$\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} s^{2}$

Where 's' represents the length of one side of the triangle.

In this case, s = 6 in, therefore, the area is:

$\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}6^{2} = 15.5884 sq in$
