Correct Answer: $64\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Solution : Length of a side of the given equilateral triangle $= 16$ cm. As the area of an equilateral triangle is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}4a^2$ where $a$ is one side. So, area $=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 16^2 = 64\sqrt3$ cm 2 . Hence, the correct answer is $64\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$.
