Without using the direct formula, find the area of an equilateral triangle with each side 2a. About the author Daisy
Step-by-step explanation: The sides of triangle are a,a,a units s= 2 a+a+a = 2 3a Using Heron’s formula Area of equilateral triangle is s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c) = 2 3a × 2 a × 2 a × 2 a = 2 3 a 2 Reply
