An equilateral triangle has side length 8. Find its area. Simplify your answer to the lowest terms.
The answers are:
A) 4
B) 4sqrt3
C) 8sqrt3
D) 16
E) Other
The formula to find the area of an equilateral triangle is \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^2\)\(\) , so the answer is \(\sqrt{3}*16=16\sqrt{3}.\)
what does s mean?
s=side length of the triangle.
thank you!!!
