If the length of the side of the inscribed square measures 12 inches, what is the area of triangle ABC?
(1) ABC is an equilateral triangle
Consider the smaller triangles at the two corners.
its a 30-60-90 triangle.
Since corresponding to 60 is 12
√3 x = 12
x = 4√3
2x = 8√3
From this we can find the area of two smaller triangles at the corner but we still don't know anything about the top triangle.
Insufficient.
(2) The height o the triangle ABC from point C is 6√3+12
Clearly we can say that height of top triangle is 6√3
But since we don't have any idea about corner triangles hence insufficient again.
Combining both we can figure out areas of two corner and one top triangle, hence sufficient to figure out area of ABC.
IMO C

(1) ABC is an equilateral triangle
all angles are 60 degree. we can find AB and then find area sufficient
(2)by triangle proportionality theorem
a line parallel to one side creates similar triangles
we can find the ratio of sides
thus ratio of areas and then area
sufficient
