How do you find the length of a side of an equilateral triangle when you know the length of the altitude?
Multiply the altitude by [ 2 / sqrt(3) ] to get the length of the side.[ 2 / sqrt(3) ] is about 1.1547 (rounded)
What is the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle with sides of length 6?
The altitude forms a right angle triangle with half the side length and one side as the hypotenuse. Using Pythagoras: (½side)² + altitude² = side² → altitude² = side² - ¼side² → altitude² = ¾side² → altitude = (√3)/2 × side → altitude = (√3)/2 × 6 = 3√3 ≈ 5.2
What is the altitude of a triangle if it has side length of 60 inche?
It can be any length at all. The length of one side imposes no limits at all on the altitude.
What is the length of a triangle with an altitude length of 27 feet?
Clarify what triangle side length you are looking for.
What is the formula in getting the height of a rectangle?
lenght times height == If it rests on one of the shortest sides , then the altitude is the length of the longer side. If it rest on one of the longer sides, then the altitude is the length of the shortest side. If it is the special case of a square, then any side is an altitude.

The length of one side of an equilateral triangle is 11 Find the length of the altitude?
each angle is 60 degrees. If you know trigonometry sin 60 = Altitude/length of side (from Pythagoras) A = 9.526 inch Or, from Pythagoras theorem 5.5 squared + Altitude squared = 11 squared Altitude = 9.526
The altitude of an equilateral triangle is 8cm . find the side?
The length of each side is 9.2376 cm. (rounded)
What is the altitude of a triangle if it has side length of 60 inche?
It can be any length at all. The length of one side imposes no limits at all on the altitude.
Is the altitude of an equilateral triangle equal to a side length?
No. The altitude is smaller.
A parallelogram with an area of 225 sq. ft. has a side of length of 25 ft. Find the length of the altitude to that side. And please explain how to do it.?
Area of a parallelogram = base*perpendicular height 25*height = 225 sq ft Divide both sides by 25 to find the length of the altitude: Altitude = 9 ft Check: 25*9 = 225 square feet
Find the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle if one side has a length of 6cm?
Side = 6 cm 1/2 of the base = 3 cm Altitude = 3 times square-root of 3 = 5.196 cm (rounded)
How do you find the perpendicular height of a isoceles triangle?
You can find it by using the Pythagorean theorem if you know the side and the base of triangle. In an isosceles triangle the median is also the altitude. The formula is: (The measure of the side length)^2 - (The measure of the one half of the base length )^2 = (The measure of the altitude)^2. Find the square root of the result that you'll have the measure of the altitude.
Why does multiplying length times width to find the area of rectangles work only for rectangles?
For a parallelogram, the area is base x altitude. The altitude is the vertical distance between the base and the side opposite of the base. In a rectangle, which is also a rectangle, the side adjacent to the base, is equal in length to the altitude, because it is perpendicular to the base.
What is the length of a triangle with an altitude length of 27 feet?
Clarify what triangle side length you are looking for.
How do you find the length of the two legs of a triangle when you only have the hypotenuse?
You can't. You need at least another side length or two corner angles.
