Question

The side length of an equilateral triangle is 6 cm. What is the height of the triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

$3\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the height of an equilateral triangle, whose side length is 6 cm.

We know that all sides of an equilateral triangle are equal.

We can find height of an equilateral triangle using formula $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a$, where 'a' represents side length of equilateral triangle.

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot 6$

$\sqrt{3}\cdot 3$

$3\sqrt{3}$

Therefore, the height of the equilateral triangle is $3\sqrt{3}$.

Answer 2

Correct me if I am wrong but an equilateral has the same length on each side so wouldn’t it be 6 cm?
