Triangle ABC is equilateral. Find the height of BD

Mathematics
1 answer:
RideAnS [48]3 years ago
3 0

Since ABC is equilateral, all 3 sides have equal length. side AC is 8 units since side BC is 8 units.

Line BD is placed in the middle, making D the midpoint of side AC.

knowing this information we can determine that the length of DC is 4 units (half of AC)

since triangle BDC is a right triangle, we can use the side lengths in the pythagorean theorem to find the length of BD

a²+b²=c² where a & b = legs of triangle , and c= hypotenuse (longest side)

we are given the hypotenuse and found one leg so we can plug our values into the equation to find the third

4² + b²= 8²

16 + b² = 64

b² = 48

b = \sqrt{48}

b= 4√3 or about 6.928 units

hope this helped

Triangle volume formula V = 1/2(l*w*h)
1/2(4*12*9) = 216 ft cubed

Formula for rectangular prism V = (l*w*h)
(4*16*6) = 384 ft cubed
