In polar coordinates, the axis determined by theta=0 is called the positive x-axis or horizontal axis.

To add, in mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction.

Triangle MNO is an equilateral triangle with sides measuring 16 StartRoot 3 EndRoot units. Triangle M N O is an equilateral tria

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The correct option is second one i.e 24 units.

Therefore the height of the triangle is

$NR=24\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An equilateral triangle has all sides equal.

ΔMNO is an Equilateral Triangle with sides measuring,

$NM = MO = ON =16\sqrt{3}$

NR is perpendicular bisector to MO such that

$MR=RO=\dfrac{MO}{2}=\dfrac{16\sqrt{3}}{2}=8\sqrt{3}$ .NR ⊥ Bisector.

To Find:

Height of the triangle = NR = ?

Solution :

Now we have a right angled triangle NRM at ∠R =90°,

So by applying Pythagoras theorem we get

$(\textrm{Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm{Shorter leg})^{2}+(\textrm{Longer leg})^{2}$

Substituting the values we get

$(MN)^{2} = (MR)^{2}+(NR)^{2}\\\\(16\sqrt{3})^{2}=(8\sqrt{3})^{2}+(NR)^{2}\\\\(NR)^{2}=768-192=576\\Square\ rooting\ we\ get\\NR=\sqrt{576}=24\ units$
