If each side of the equilateral triangle measures 9c find the height of the triangle?
The area of a triangle is one-half the product of the triangle's base and height. The height of an equilateral triangle is the distance from one vertex along the perpendicular bisector line of the opposite side. This line divides the equilateral triangle into two right triangles, each with a hypotenuse of 9c and a base of (9/2)c. From the Pythagorean theorem, the height must be the square root of {(9c)2 - [(9/2)c]}, and this height is the same as that of the equilateral triangle.
How do you find the area of an equilateral triangle without knowing the height?
You find the height by using Pythagoras' theorem and then 0.5*base*height = area.
What is the lateral area of a right prism with height 14 cm and equilateral triangle base with side 8 cm?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the height of the equilateral triangle works out as about 7 cm and so with the given dimensions it would appear to be quite difficult to work out the lateral area.
Can a pythagorean theorem be used to find a missing leg in a equilateral triangle?
Yes, but it is totally pointless since all three sides (legs) are known to be the same.
What is the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle when sides are 20 in length?
Using Pythagoras' theorem its height works out as 17.321 inches rounded to 3 decimal places
How do you find the height of an equilateral triangle?
By using Pythagoras' theorem
How do you find height of an equilateral triangle?
By using Pythagoras' theorem.
What is the length of the altitude of the equilateral triangle?
The altitude of an equilateral triangle is (√3)/2*a. where 'a' is the side of the triangle. It can be just find by giving a perpendicular to the base of the triangle, the base of the triangle become a/2 and one side is a. so by applying Pythagoras theorem we will get the desired formula.
What is the height of an equilateral triangle with the side lengths of 18 center meters?
In effect an equilateral triangle is made up of two right angle triangles joined together so use Pythagoras' theorem to find the height:- 182-92 = 243 and the square root of this will be the height of the equilateral triangle which is about 15.588 cm
What is the altitude of an equilateral triangle with 12cm sides?
6 * sqrt(3) cm. This should be trivially obvious from the Pythagorean theorem.
Find the length of an altitude of an equilateral triangle with sides that measure 11.31 m?
9.794747317 m (with the help of Pythagoras' theorem)
What is the history of basic proportionality theorem?
its abbr. Is BPT. It is applied in equilateral triangle. For more info log on to www.wikipedia.com/thalesofmiletus
What is the difference between an equilateral angle and an eqiangular angle?
By definition, both are the same. An equilangular triangle is a triangle with all three angles equivalent, while an equilateral triangle is a triangle with all three sides the same length. By geometric theorem, if all angles of a triangle are the same, then all sides are the same, and vice versa.
If each side of the equilateral triangle measures 9c find the height of the triangle?
The area of a triangle is one-half the product of the triangle's base and height. The height of an equilateral triangle is the distance from one vertex along the perpendicular bisector line of the opposite side. This line divides the equilateral triangle into two right triangles, each with a hypotenuse of 9c and a base of (9/2)c. From the Pythagorean theorem, the height must be the square root of {(9c)2 - [(9/2)c]}, and this height is the same as that of the equilateral triangle.
What is the area of equilateral triangles with sides of 10 inches and heigth of 7 inches?
Using Pythagoras' theorem it is impossible for an equilateral triangle with equal sides of 10 inches to have a height of 7 inches.
How do you find the area of an equilateral triangle without knowing the height?
You find the height by using Pythagoras' theorem and then 0.5*base*height = area.
How do you find the area of an equalateral triangle?
Do you mean an equilateral triangle? Then if so then the formula for the area of any triangle: 0.5*a*b*sinC whereas a and b are the embraced sides of angle C And in the case of an equilateral triangle it is: 0.5*any side squared*sin(60 degrees) Alternatively use Pythagoras' theorem to find the altitude of the triangle then use: 0.5*base*height = area
