The computation is that the height of the sail is 15 yards.

<h3>How to calculate the height?</h3>

From the information, it was stated that the longest edge of the sail measures 17 yards, and the bottom edge of the sail is 8 yards.

We can use the Pythagoras theorem. Therefore,

c² = a² + b²

17² = 8² + b²

b² = 17² - 8²

b² = 289 - 64

b² = 225

b = ✓225

b = 15

Therefore, the computation is that the height of the sail is 15 yards.

An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 60m and a height of 17.3m. what is its area?
Simora [160]

The area of any triangle is            (1/2) x (length of the base) x (height) .

In this problem, we know the triangle's height,
but what is the length of the base ?

The base is the side that the triangle is sitting on.  This particular triangle
is an equilateral one, and its perimeter is 60m.  So each side must be 20m. 
No matter which side the triangle is sitting on, the length of the base is 20m.

           Area = (1/2) x (base) x (height)

           Area = (1/2) x (20m) x (17.3m) =  <em>173 m²</em>
