Answer:
Equilateral triangle implies each angle is 60 degree.
And any median is the altitude.
So, NT perpendicular LM, where T is the midpoint of [ML];
We use the Pythagorean Theorem in right triangle NTL ( NT = h; NL = a;
LT = a / 2 );
h² = a² - (a/2)² = a² - a²/4 = 4a²/4 - a²/4 = 3a²/4
;
It follows that
h = √(3a²/4) = a√3/2 ≈ 0,866*a;
But, a = 8;
h ≈ 0,866 * 8 ≈ 6,928;
