Question

What is the side of equilateral triangle is altitude is 10

Answer 1

Answer:

11.55

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle is one which all it sides are equal.

10cm altitude means the height is 10cm.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

x² = 10² + (x/2)²

Assume that the side of the triangle is xcm

x² - x²/4 = 100

3x²/4 = 100

x = √(400/3)

x = 11.55cm
