Sir Beg is the author of the question.

Let AB be a cm, the side length of the ascribed equilateral triangle ABC.


b² = 9

b = 3 cm.

b is the side length of the inscribed square and the base of the inscribed triangle.


c²+(½(a))² = a²

c² = a²-¼(a²)

c² = ¼(3a²)

c = ½√(3)a cm.

c is the height of the ascribed equilateral triangle ABC.


d = c-3

d = ½√(3)a-3

d = ½(√(3)a-6) cm.

d is the height of the inscribed triangle.


It implies;

Calculating a, the side length of the ascribed regular triangle ABC.


½*3*d = 12

½*3*½(√(3)a-6) = 12

¼(3√(3)a-18) = 12

3√(3)a-18 = 48

3√(3)a = 66

√(3)a = 22

a = ⅓(22√(3)) cm.

a = 12.7017059222 cm.

Again, a is the side length of the ascribed equilateral triangle ABC.


Therefore, area ascribed equilateral triangle ABC is;


½*a²sin60

= ½*⅓(22√(3))*⅓(22√(3))sin60

= ¼*⅑*3*22*22*√(3)

= ⅓(121√(3)) cm²

= 69.8593825719 cm²
