उत्तर १
In equilateral Δ ABC, AD ⊥ BC.
Therefore, BC = x cm.
Area of equilateral ΔABC = `sqrt3/4 xx "side"^2 = 1/2 xx "base" xx "height"`
= `sqrt3/4 xx x^2 = 1/2 xx x xx "AD"`
AD = `sqrt3/2 x`
उत्तर २
In △ADC and △ADB,
AD = AD ...(Common)
∠ADB = ∠ADC ...(Each 90°)
AB = AC ....(Given, ABC is an equilateral triangle)
Thus, △ADC ≅ △ADB
BD = DC = `1/2`BC ...(By cpct)
Hence, BD = `1/2`x
In △ADB,
∠D = 90°
△ADB is right angle triangle,
by Pythagoras theorem,
AB2 = BD2 + AD2
`x^2 = (1/2x)^2 + "AD"^2`
`"AD"^2 = x^2 − (x^2)/4`
`"AD"^2 = 3/4x^2`
`"AD" = (sqrt(3))/2x`

Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
