If the length of median of an equilateral triangle is `x cm` then its area is
`a. x^2, b.(sqrt3/2)x^2, c.x^2/sqrt3, d.x^2/2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

"Let side of the triangle = `a`
`therefore` The median of an equilateral triangle is the perpendicular to the base
The perpendicular or altitude = `sqrt3/2a`
`sqrt3/2a`=x
`a=(2x)/sqrt3`
Area of an equilateral triangle is `sqrt3/4side^2`
`sqrt3/4 xx((2x)/sqrt3)^2`
`x^2/sqrt3`
