Function Scope

Equilateral Area

Create a Python program that defines the function equilateral_area(edge_length: float) -> float that computes the area of an equilateral triangle. The parameter edge_length specifies the length of the triangle's edges. The function should return the area of the triangle. The area of an equilateral triangle and be computed with the equation:

a=34×l2

Where a is the area of the triangle and l is the length of an edge of the triangle.

Test Cases

Create your own! Use this template:

import test

def equilateral_area(edge_length: float) -> float:
    # Put your code here

def main() -> None:
    test.equal(equilateral_area(?), ?)
    # Put more test cases here
    return None

main()
