If x is the length of a median of an equilateral triangle, then its area is :

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
Let the side of the triangle be a
Then,
$$\eqalign{ & {a^2} = {\left( {\frac{a}{2}} \right)^2} + {x^2} \cr & \Leftrightarrow \frac{{3{a^2}}}{4} = {x^2} \cr & \Leftrightarrow {a^2} = \frac{{4{x^2}}}{3} \cr} $$
∴ Area :
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{4}{a^2} \cr & = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{4} \times \frac{{4{x^2}}}{3} \cr & = \frac{{{x^2}}}{{\sqrt 3 }} \cr & = \frac{{\sqrt 3 {x^2}}}{3} \cr} $$
