The height of an equilateral triangle is √3/2 x side_length. So for an equilateral triangle of side length 2a, the area is: area = 1/2 x base x height 1/2 x (2a) x (√3/2 x 2a) = √3 a2
When you multiply 2a by 2a, you are essentially multiplying 2 by 2 and a by a separately. This results in 4a^2, where the coefficient 4 is the product of 2 and 2, and a^2 represents a multiplied by a. Therefore, the final answer is 4a^2.

The quadratic formula originated from the concept of completing the square. let's take ax2 + bx + c = 0. To complete the square, solve for x. Subtract c. ax2 + bx = -c. Then divide by a [notice- if there is no a value, then a=1]. x2 + bx/a = -c/a. Add (b/2a)2 to both sides. x2 + bx/a + b2/4a2 = -c/a + b2/4a2 Factor/Reformat. (x + b/2a)2 = (b2-4ac) / 4a2 (x + b/2a)2 = [(b2-4ac) / 2a]2 Square-root both sides. x + b/2a = ± √(b2-4ac) / 2a Subtract b/2a. x = -b/2a ± √(b2-4ac) / 2a Combine terms. x = [-b ± √(b2-4ac)] / 2a
