    If the distance from the vertex to the centroid of an equilateral triangle is 6 cm. 3m  is the area of the triangle?

    A) \[24c{{m}^{2}}\]                    

    B) \[27\sqrt{3}c{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[12\,c{{m}^{2}}\]                  

    D) \[12\sqrt{3}\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] In an equilateral triangle, centroid and circumcentre coincide, therefore, Circumradius (R) \[=\frac{a}{\sqrt{3}}=6\] \[\therefore \,\,\,a=6\sqrt{3}\,\,\,cm\] Area \[=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {{a}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times {{(6\sqrt{3})}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times 36\times 3\] \[=27\sqrt{3}\,\,c{{m}^{2}}\]
