    A square and an equilateral triangle have equal perimeters. If the diagonal of the square is\[12\sqrt{2}\]cm, then the area (in\[\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\]) of the triangle is

    A)  \[36\sqrt{2}\]                  

    B)         \[36\sqrt{3}\]

    C)  \[64\sqrt{2}\]                  

    D)         \[64\sqrt{3}\]  

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Since a diagonal of the square is \[12\sqrt{2}\,cm,\] Length of a side of square \[12\sqrt{2}\,\times \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right)=12\,cm.\]. Perimeter of the square \[=12\times 4=48\text{ }cm\] \[\therefore \]  Perimeter of the equilateral triangle \[=48\text{ }cm,\] Hence each side\[~=16\text{ }cm\] and,       area \[=\frac{1}{2}\times {{(16)}^{2}}\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]                 \[=64\sqrt{3}\,c{{m}^{2}}\]
