STEP 1: find side $ a $

To find side $ a $ use formula:

$$ P = 6 \cdot a $$

After substituting $P = 14\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ 14\, \text{cm} = 6 \cdot a $$ $$ a = \dfrac{ 14\, \text{cm} }{ 6 } $$ $$ a = \frac{ 7 }{ 3 }\, \text{cm} $$

STEP 2: find area $ A $

To find area $ A $ use formula:

$$ A = \dfrac{ 3 \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a^2 }{ 2 } $$

After substituting $a = \dfrac{ 7 }{ 3 }\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ A = \dfrac{ 3 \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot \left( \frac{ 7 }{ 3 }\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} }{ 2 } $$ $$ A = \dfrac{ 3 \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot \frac{ 49 }{ 9 }\, \text{cm}^2 }{ 2 }$$ $$ A = \dfrac{ \frac{ 49 \sqrt{ 3}}{ 3 }\, \text{cm}^2 }{ 2 }$$ $$ A = \frac{ 49 \sqrt{ 3}}{ 6 }\, \text{cm}^2 $$
