Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Find the sides of an equilateral triangle whose area is \$12 sqrt(3) m^2\$.

2

Given

The area of equilateral triangle is \$12 sqrt(3) m^2\$.

3

Formula:

The area of equilateral triangle is given by

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

4

Step

Substitute the values in the formula

\$ 12 sqrt(3)= (sqrt 3/4) times s^2\$

5

Step

After simplification

\$12 sqrt(3) times 4 = (sqrt 3) times s^2\$

6

Step

After simplification

\$48 sqrt(3) = sqrt(3) times s^2\$

7

Step

After simplification

\$48 = s^2\$

8

Step

After simplification

\$s = sqrt (48)\$

9

Step

After simplification

\$s = sqrt(16) times 3\$

10

Step

After simplification

\$s = 4 sqrt(3) m\$

11

Step

Answer

Therefore, the length of each side of the equilateral triangle is \$4sqrt(3) cm\$
