To find the area of the equilateral triangle given the lengths of the perpendiculars from a point inside the triangle, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Problem We have an equilateral triangle ABC, and from a point O inside the triangle, perpendiculars are drawn to the sides AB, BC, and AC. The lengths of these perpendiculars are given as: - OP (perpendicular to AB) = 14 cm - OQ (perpendicular to BC) = 10 cm - OR (perpendicular to AC) = 6 cm ...
