Question

What is the height, X, of the equilateral triangle ? (Help)

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 7√3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

We first have to draw out the altitude on the triangle. When we do so, we should see that we will get 2 congruent 30-60-90 triangles. From there, our h height is x and we use tan∅ to solve:

tan60° = x/7

x = 7tan60°

x = 7√3
