Are of triangle = (t^2sqrt3)/4
Area of square s^2
(t^2sqrt3)/4=s^2 if you get sqrt of both side
you will get s=(t*4throot of 3)/2
which is your answer (upside down)
It is very hard to write like this let me know if you did not uderstand it

Good Luck

That is the formula for equilateral triangles but if you want it you can do it yourself
area = h*t/2
height (90 degree) will divide the t into 2 equal parts now we have 2 equal right angle triangle. lets find what is h
t^2=(t/2)^2+h^2
t^2=t^2/4+h^2
t^2-(t^2/4) = h^2
(4t^2-t^2)/4=h^2
3t^2/4=h^2
h= t*sqrt3/2
area = t*h/2= t*t*sqrt3/4= t^2*sqrt3/4
