The length of a side of an equilateral triangle is 40cm. what is the length of the altitude of the triangle?

podryga [215]

Answer:

20√3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Altitude of an equilateral triangle splits it into 2 equal right triangles, it bisects the base and the angle opposite to the base.

Let the altitude be x. Then as per Pythagorean theorem:

x² = 40² - (40/2)²
x²= 1600 -400
x²= 1200
x= √1200
x= 20√3 cm

Correct choice is the second one

Pythagorean theorem to determine if a triangle with sides 2 ft,5ft,4ft is a right triangle

Delvig [45]

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

$2^2 + 4^2 = 5^2$

$4 + 16 = 25$

$20 = 25$

Since 20 = 25 is clearly a false statement, the three side lengths 2 ft, 4 ft, and 5 ft do not form a right triangle.
