Question
Assertion (A): The side of an equilateral triangle is 6 cm then the area of the triangle is 9 cm2.Reason (R): All the sides of an equilateral triangle are equal
Solution
The assertion (A) is incorrect while the reason (R) is correct.
Here's why:
The area of an equilateral triangle is given by the formula: √3/4 * side^2. If the side of the equilateral triangle is 6 cm, then the area would be √3/4 * 6^2 = √3/4 * 36 = 9√3 cm^2, not 9 cm^2.
The reason (R) is correct because by definition, an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal.
