Grade: 4-a Lesson: S2-L5

Explanation: Hello Students, time to practice and review the steps for the problem.

Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Find the sides of an equilateral triangle whose area is \$16 \sqrt 3 cm^2\$.

2

Step

The given values is

\$16 \sqrt 3 \$

3

Formula

The area of an equilateral triangle

\$A = (\sqrt(3) / 4) times s^2\$

4

Step

Substitute the value in the formula

\$16 \sqrt (3) = (\sqrt(3) / 4) times s^2\$

5

Formula

We need to determine the length of the sides of an equilateral triangle.

6

Step

Multiply \$4/(\sqrt(3)\$ on both sides

\$16(\sqrt3) \times 4/\sqrt(3) = \sqrt(3)/4 \times 4/\sqrt(3) \times s^2\$

7

Hint

Multiplication of reciprocals is equal to 1

\$(a/b) \times (b/a) = 1\$

8

Step

After simplification the value we get,

\$s^2 = 64\$

9

Clue

Apply square root on both sides.

\$\sqrt(s^2) = \sqrt(64)\$

10

Step

After simplification the value we get,

s = 8

11

Step

So, the sides of the equilateral triangle are 8cm.
