Question : If the area of an equilateral triangle is $a$ and height $b$, then the value of $\frac{b^2}{a}$ is:

Option 1: $3$

Option 2: $\frac{1}{3}$

Option 3: $\sqrt3$

Option 4: $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt3$


Solution : The Area of the equilateral triangle = $\frac12×\ \text{base × height}$
$⇒a= \frac12×\ \text{base}\ ×b$
$\therefore$ base $= \frac{2a}{b}$
Now,
Area of an equilateral triangle $= \frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times (\text{side})^2$
$⇒a= \frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times (\frac{2a}{b})^2$
$⇒\frac{b^2}{a} = \sqrt3$
Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt3$.
