Correct Answer: 62.35
Solution : Given: The side of an equilateral triangle is $12 \text{ cm}$. Area of the equilateral triangle: $=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} × (\text{side})^{2}$ $=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} × 12^{2}$ $=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} × 144$ $=\sqrt{3} × 36$ $= 1.732 × 36 $ $= 62.35 \text{ cm}^2$ Hence, the correct answer is 62.35.
