What is the area of the equilateral triangle? round to the nearest square centimeter. cm2 equilateral triangle a b c with side length of eight centimeters

To calculate we use the equation for the area of a triangle. The area of a an equilateral triangle is expressed as: Area = (√3/4)a^2. Calculations are as follows:

Area = (√3/4)a^2
Area = (√3/4)8^2
Area = 16√3

Thus, the area of the equilateral triangle is about 28 cm^2
