    Find the length of a side of an equilateral triangle whose area is \[4\sqrt{3}c{{m}^{2}}\].

    A) 8 cm                   

    B)        9 cm

    C) 4 cm   

    D)        12 cm

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Explanation Option [c] is correct. The area of an equilateral triangle \[=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {{(side)}^{2}}.\] Hence, \[4\sqrt{3}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {{(\operatorname{si}de)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{3}=\frac{\sqrt{3}\times {{(\operatorname{si}de)}^{2}}}{4}\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{3}\times 4=\sqrt{3}\times {{(side)}^{2}}.\] \[\Rightarrow {{(side)}^{2}}=\frac{4\sqrt{3}\times 4}{\sqrt{3}}=16\Rightarrow side=\sqrt{16}=4cm.\]
