see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
The equilateral triangle has three equal sides
so
in the equilateral triangle ABC
the height of the triangle is the segment BD
in the right triangle BCD
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
solve for BD
substitute the values
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the height of the triangle is
Answer:-
Step-by-step explanation:
The given ration is 16 :40
In fraction, the above ratio can be written as :
To write the above fraction in lowest terms, we need to divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common divisor.
Since, , Hence, 8 is the greatest common divisor of 16 and 40.
