Given:

The height of an equilateral triangle is 7\(\sqrt{3}\) cm. 

Concept used:

Height of an equilateral triangle = \(\frac {\sqrt3}{2} \times Side\)

Area of an equilateral triangle = \(\frac {\sqrt3}{4} \times Side^2\)

Calculation:

Each side of the triangle = \({7\sqrt3} \div \frac {\sqrt3}{2}\) = 14 cm

Area of the triangle = \(\frac {\sqrt3}{4} \times 14^2\) = 49 \(\sqrt{3}\) cm2

∴ The area of this equilateral triangle is 49 \(\sqrt{3}\) cm2.
