Answer:

9 $\sqrt{3}$ cm² or approximately 15.59 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the area of an equilateral triangle, A = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}$ a²

Plug in the side length, 6 cm, as a in the formula:

A = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}$ (6²)

A = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4}$ (36)

A = 9 $\sqrt{3}$

So, the area of the logo is 9 $\sqrt{3}$ cm² or approximately 15.59 cm²
