This question is incomplete, the complete question is:

An equilateral triangle has an apothem measuring 2.16 cm and a perimeter of 22.45 cm. What is the area of the equilateral triangle, rounded to the nearest tenth?

What is a triangle?

A triangle is simply a two-dimensional polygon with 3 sides and 3 interior angles.

An equilateral triangle is a triangle with all its three sides having the same length

The area of an equilateral triangle is expressed as;

A = ((√3)/4)a²

Where a is the length of the side

Perimeter of an equilateral triangle is expressed as;

P = 3a

Where a is the length of the side

Given that the perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 22.45 cm, the sides of the triangle will be;

P = 3a

22.45cm = 3a

a = 22.45cm / 3

a = 7.48cm

Now, the area of the equilateral triangle will be;

A = ((√3)/4)a²

A = ((√3)/4) × (7.48cm)²

A = 0.433 × 55.9504cm²

A = 24.2cm²

The area of the equilateral triangle with the given perimeter is 24.2cm².

Hence, option D)24.2cm² is the correct answer.
