    The side length is 3.72 units

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Area A = √ (36) units

    area of an equilateral triangles is

    A = [√ (3) / 4] * s²

    A = area

    s = side length

    √ (36) = [√ (3) / 4] * s²

    Take the square of both sides

    [√ (36) ]² = [ (√ (3) / 4) * s²]²

    36 = (3/16) * s⁴

    36 * 16 = 3s⁴

    576 = 3s⁴

    S⁴ = 576 / 3

    S⁴ = 192

    Take the fourth root of both sides

    4√ (s⁴) = 4√ (192)

    S = 3.72 units

    The side length of the equilaterial triangle is 3.72 units
