Given:
Equilateral Triangular Prism
Each side of the triangular face has a length of 196cm
The tent is 250cm long
I have attached an image of the tent. Since the height of the tent is also the height of the triangle, I will solve for the height of the triangle using Pythagorean theorem.
I divided the equilateral triangle into 2 right triangle. The height then becomes the long leg of the triangle. The hypotenuse is 196cm and the short leg is 98cm, half of one side of the triangle.
a² + b² = c²
a² = c² - b²
a² = (196cm)² - (98cm)²
a² = 38,416cm² - 9,604cm²
a² = 28,812cm²
a = √28,812cm²
a = 169.74cm
The height of the tent is 169.74 centimeters.
