    If the length of each side of an equilateral triangle is equal to the radius of a circle of area 154 sq. cm., then the area of the equilateral triangle is

    A)  \[\frac{7\sqrt{3}}{4}sq.\,cm\]     

    B)         \[\frac{49\sqrt{3}}{4}sq.\,cm\]

    C)  35 sq. cm           

    D)         49 sq. cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     If r is the radius of the circle, then \[\pi \,{{r}^{2}}=154\]                 or            \[{{r}^{2}}=\frac{154\times 7}{22}{{7}^{2}}\]                 or            \[r=7\,cm\] Area of the equilateral triangle with side \[7\text{ }cm,\]                                 \[A={{7}^{2}}\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\]                                 \[=\frac{49\sqrt{3}}{4}\,sq.\,cm.\]
