Question

If the length of the median of an equilateral triangle is x cm, then what is the area of triangle.

hintHint:

In an equilateral triangle, median is the perpendicular of the base too.

The correct answer is: Equilateral triangle


    It is given that length of the median = x cm
    Let side of the triangle = a

    Since median divides the base ⇒ BD =
    Using Pythagoras in triangle ABD
    AB2 = AD2 + BD2
    a2 = x2 + ( a over 2 )2
    = x2  ⇒  fraction numerator square root of 3 a over denominator 2 end fraction = x
    a = fraction numerator 2 x over denominator square root of 3 end fraction
    Area of equilateral triangle = fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fraction a squared equals fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fraction open parentheses fraction numerator 2 x over denominator square root of 3 end fraction close parentheses squared
    fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 4 end fraction cross times fraction numerator 4 x squared over denominator 3 end fraction
    fraction numerator x squared over denominator square root of 3 end fraction
