where is base and is height
if given , means you have an Equilateral Triangle and base
now we need to calculate height which could be find using Pythagorean theorem because it divides equilateral triangle into two right angle triangles; so,

...we need only positive root because height could be only positive number

then, the area will be:

a=b=c=12
AREA=BH/2
a^2=b^2+c^2
12^2=6^2+c^2
144=36+c^2
c^2=144-36
c^2=108
c=sqrt108
c=10.39 is the height.
area=12*10.39/2
area=124.70/2
area=62.35 ans.
