MCQ
The area of an equilateral triangle having side length equal to $\sqrt\frac{3}{4}\text {cm}$ (using Heron’s formula) is:
  • A
    a. $\frac{2}{27}\text{sq.cm}$
  • B
    b. $\frac{2}{15}\text{sq.cm}$
  • c. $3\sqrt\frac{3}{64}\text{sq.cm}$
  • D
    d.$\frac{3}{14}\text{sq.cm}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
c. $3\sqrt\frac{3}{64}\text{sq.cm}$
c. $3\sqrt\frac{3}{64}\text{sq.cm}$Solution:
$\text{Here, } \text{a}=\text{b}=\text{c}\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}$
$\text{Semiperimeter}=\frac{(\text{a}+\text{b}+\text{c})}{2} \frac{3\text{a}}{2}=3\sqrt{\frac{3}{8}\text{cm}}$
Using Heron’s formula,
$\text{A}=\sqrt{\text{s}\text(s-a)\text(s-b)\text(s-c)}$
$(\sqrt{3\sqrt{\frac{3}{8}}}) (3\sqrt{\frac{3}{8}}-\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}) (3\sqrt{\frac{3}{8}}-\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}) \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}) $
$=3\sqrt{\frac{3}{64}}\text{s}\text{q}.\text{c}\text{m}$
