If you know the base and area of the triangle, you can divide the base by 2, then divide that by the area to find the height. To find the height of an equilateral triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

miss Akunina [59]

Took me a minute to think.

Form ratios.

x, the small triangle, forms a ratio with 6, the big triangle.

The part of the side that is equal(with the dash) that is part of the small triangle is equal to 6-x, the big triangle.

Yes, you can cross-multiply here!

$\frac{6}{x} = \frac{8}{6-x}$

<em>Now,</em><em> </em>cross multiply.
P.S. Use distributive property.

36-6x = 8x

Add 6x on both sides.

36=14x

Divide by 14 on both sides.

x = $\frac{36}{14}$ = $\frac{18}{7}$
