7.79cm It is an equilateral triangle so it has 3 equal sides. That means each side is 9cm. <span>
Now draw a line from the top of the equilateral triangle to the base, and dividing it into two. You will have made two smaller triangles, with sides 9, 4.5, and h (the one you want to find). 

A line drawn from the apex of an equilateral triangle to the midpoint of the base is perpendicular to the base, so you can use Pythagoras' Theorem! 

4.5^2 + h^2 = 9^2 
h = sqrt(9^2 - 4.5^2) 
Therefore, the height is 7.79cm (2 decimal places)</span><span>

8. Find GH,<br> E<br> 3-4<br> HY<br> -<br> H<br> 2<br> 3x - 4<br> G<br> SI<br> F<br> 9x - 59<br> D
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

GH= 47

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x - 4) = 9x - 59

6x - 8 = 9x - 59

6x - 9x =  - 59  + 9

\cfrac{ - 3x}{ - 3}  =  \cfrac{ - 51}{ - 3}

x = 17

gh = 3(17)  - 4

51 - 4

= 47
