Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{A=16\sqrt3\ in^2\approx27.7\ in^2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
It's the equilateral triangle.
The formula of an equilateral triangle wit sides a
[tex]A=\dfrac{a^2\sqrt3}{4}[/tex]
We have a = 8in. Substitute:
[tex]A=\dfrac{8^2\sqrt3}{4}=\dfrac{64\sqrt3}{4}=16\sqrt3\ in^2[/tex]
