An equilateral triangle has a height of 3.32 cm. Draw the picture and use this information to determine the length of the sides
of the triangle.
1 answer:
Answer:
The answer is a=b=c=3.833 cm
Explanation:
Lets call the variables a=side a b=side b c=side c
We have that the formula of the equilateral triangle for its height is:
1)h=(1/2)*root(3)*a
2) If we resolve the equation we have
2.1)2h=root(3)*a
2.2)(2h/root(3))=a
3) After the replacement of each value we have that
a=2*3.32/1.73205
a=3.833 cm
And we know that the equilateral triangle has the same value for each side so a=b=c=3.833 cm
