(1) One side of E is 10 and one side of R is 8.
(2) 8 is the smaller side of R


Statement 1:

The area of R is at most \(8*8*\frac{1}{2} = 32\) while the area of E is \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}*10^2 \approx 170/4 > 32\). Thus the equilateral triangle must be bigger. Sufficient.

Statement 2:

We can confirm the area of R but nothing on E. Insufficient.

Ans: A
