STEP 1: find side $ a $

To find side $ a $ use formula:

$$ r = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a }{ 2 } $$

After substituting $r = 14.7\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ 14.7\, \text{cm} = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a }{ 2 } $$ $$ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a = 14.7\, \text{cm} \cdot 2 $$ $$ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a = 29.4\, \text{cm} $$ $$ a = \dfrac{ 29.4\, \text{cm} }{ \sqrt{ 3 } } $$ $$ a \approx 16.9741\, \text{cm} $$

STEP 2: find area $ A $

To find area $ A $ use formula:

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

After substituting $a = 16.9741\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ A = \dfrac{ 3 \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot \left( 16.9741\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} }{ 2 } $$ $$ A = \dfrac{ 3 \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot 288.12\, \text{cm}^2 }{ 2 }$$ $$ A = \dfrac{ 1497.1154\, \text{cm}^2 }{ 2 }$$ $$ A = 748.5577\, \text{cm}^2 $$
