STEP 1: find side $ a $

To find side $ a $ use formula:

$$ s = \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a $$

After substituting $s = 1.5\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ 1.5\, \text{cm} = \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a $$ $$ a = \dfrac{ 1.5\, \text{cm} }{ \sqrt{ 3 } } $$ $$ a \approx 0.866\, \text{cm} $$

STEP 2: find area $ A $

To find area $ A $ use formula:

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

After substituting $a = 0.866\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ A = \dfrac{ 3 \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot \left( 0.866\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} }{ 2 } $$ $$ A = \dfrac{ 3 \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot 0.75\, \text{cm}^2 }{ 2 }$$ $$ A = \dfrac{ 3.8971\, \text{cm}^2 }{ 2 }$$ $$ A = 1.9486\, \text{cm}^2 $$
