Area is (42.25sqrt3)/2 or 36.5885 square units

Explanation:

Area of any triangle is 1/2xx"Base"xx"Height"

Here "Base"=6.5

"Height"=6.5sqrt3

Hence "Area"=1/2xx6.5xx6.5xxsqrt3=(6.5^2xxsqrt3)/2

=(42.25sqrt3)/2

=(42.25xx1.732)/2=36.5885 square units

It is 21.125sqrt3.

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is:

A=B*H/2

where B is the base and H is the Height.

Therefore, in your problem:

A=6.5*6.5sqrt3/2 =21.125sqrt3
