Show that the area of an equilateral triangle of side 2x is x^2square3, given that tan 60 degrees=square 3
.
Draw a diagram, it'll help you identify what was given and what you need to do.
.
Remember, area of a triangle is (1/2)bh
where
b is base (given as 2x)
h is height
.
So, we need the height.
Since tan = opposite/adjacent
our setup then:
tan(60) = h/(2x/2) = h/x
.
area =
area =
area =
