To find the area of the equilateral triangle ABC with an interior point D, where the perpendicular distances from D to the sides of the triangle are given as 4, 5, and 6, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between the area and the perpendicular distances The area \( A \) of triangle ABC can be expressed in terms of the side length \( a \) and the perpendicular distances from point D to the sides of the triangle. The area can be calculated as: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times h \] where \( h \) is the height from point D to the sides of the triangle. ...
