see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The equilateral triangle has three equal sides

so

in the equilateral triangle ABC

AB=BC=AC=16 units

the height of the triangle is the segment BD

in the right triangle BCD

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

BC^{2} =BD^{2}+DC^{2}

solve for BD

BD^{2}=BC^{2}-DC^{2}

substitute the values

BD^{2}=16^{2}-8^{2}

BD^{2}=192

BD=\sqrt{192}\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the height of the triangle is \sqrt{192}\ units

Answer:

The height of an equilateral triangle will be =\sqrt{192}units

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangle MNO is an equilateral triangle with sides measuring 16 units that is MN=NO=OM=16.

Now, Let MD be the height of an equilateral triangle, then applying the Pythagoras theorem in triangle MDO, we get

(MO)^{2}=(OD)^{2}+(MD)^{2}

(16)^{2}=(8)^{2}+(MD)^{2}

256=64+MD^{2}

256-64=(MD)^{2}

MD=\sqrt{192}

Therefore, the height of an equilateral triangle will be =\sqrt{192}units.
