Answer:

The height of the equilateral triangle is 5\sqrt{3}\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An equilateral triangle has three congruent sides, and three congruent angles that each measure 60 degrees

To find out the height of an equilateral triangle, apply the Pythagoras Theorem in the right triangle ABD

Remember that the height of an equilateral triangle bisects the base.

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

AB^2=AD^2+BD^2

substitute the given values

10^2=5^2+BD^2

Solve for BD

100=25+BD^2

BD^2=100-25

BD^2=75

BD=\sqrt{75}\ units

simplify

BD=5\sqrt{3}\ units`

therefore

The height of the equilateral triangle is 5\sqrt{3}\ units
