To find the area of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 6, you can use the formula:

[ \text{Area} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times \text{side}^2 ]

Substitute the given side length (6) into the formula:

[ \text{Area} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 6^2 ]

[ \text{Area} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 36 ]

[ \text{Area} = \frac{\sqrt{3} \times 36}{4} ]

[ \text{Area} = \frac{36\sqrt{3}}{4} ]

[ \text{Area} = 9\sqrt{3} ]

Therefore, the area of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 6 is (9\sqrt{3}) square units.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
