An equilateral triangle has a side of length 12 inches. What is the area of the triangle, in square inches? Express your answer in simplest radical form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Since an equilateral triangle means that every side is equal, our triangle will have 12 on all sides.

To find the height of an equilateral triangle we use .

.

So the height is .

Now we have to solve 12 * ÷ 2.

.

Thus, the area of the triangle is .

Hope this helps!
