Verified Answer :

Let x be the length of the side of the equilateral triangle.
x will also be the base on which the altitude falls.

One side, the altitute and 1/2 the base forms a right triangle.

so

x² = (x/2)² +(11√3)²

x² = (x²/4) +(121)(3)

x² - (x²/4) = (121)(3)

3x²/4 = (121)(3)

x² = (4/3)(121)(3)

x² = 4(121)

x = 2(11)

x = 22
