Correct Answer: $49 \sqrt{3}$ cm 2


Solution : Height of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times Side$
Area of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times Side^2$
So, each side of the triangle = $\frac{7\sqrt{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}$ = 14 cm
Area of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 14^2$ = $49\sqrt{3}$ cm 2
∴ The area of this equilateral triangle is $49\sqrt{3}$ cm 2 .
Hence, the correct answer is $49\sqrt{3}$ cm 2 .
