GIVEN that, Perimeter of an equilateral ∆ is 360cm.

We need to find the area,

{{\underline{\underline{{\textsf{\textbf{Concept : }}}}}}}

  • Here, perimeter is given and needed to find the area. So, we EQUATE the perimeter to find each side and then USING the formula we'll find the area.

We KNOW that,

Perimeter of an equilateral ∆ = 3a

{ \boxed{ \rm \: Note :  3a \to \: Three \: equal \: sides}}

Procedure :

⇒ 360 = 3a

\rm \cancel{\frac{360}{3}} \\ = a

⇒ 120 = a

Therefore,

Each side is 120cm.

Using the formula :

Area of an equilateral ∆ = \rm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a² \\ \sf

➡ Area = \rm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(120)²\\ \sf

➡ Area = \rm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\cancel4} × \cancel{120} × 120

➡ Area = \rm \sqrt{3}× 30 × 120

➡ Area = \rm 3600 \sqrt{3}cm.
