How do you find the altitude of an equalateral triangle?
By using Pythagoras' theorem.
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)
How do you find the measurement of the base of a isosceles triangle?
If you are given the length of 1 leg, L, and the altitude, A, the length of the base is the 2x square root of (L2 -A2 )
How do you use the altitude to find the length of a right angle?
If 2 sides are known then use Pythagoras' theorem to find the 3rd side of a right angle triangle.
What is the height of an equalateral traiangle with sides of 10 cm long what about for any equalateral triangle will the height always be the same as one of the sides?
8.66cm; noIf you have heard of a 30-60-90 triangle with sides in the ratio of 1 to sqrt(3) to 2, then this should be easy:Draw an equilateral triangle with one side at the bottom. Find the middle of the base, and draw a vertical line to divide the triangle in two. (Sorry, I can't draw this!) Now suppose the length of each side of the equilateral triangle is 2 units. You have divided the base into two parts each with a length of 1.Each smaller triangle is a right triangle with hypotenuse 2 and one side 1 unit long. the 3rd side is the altitude of the equilateral triangle, call it h. Pythagoras tells us that 12 + h2 = 22 1 + h2 = 4 h2 = 4-1 = 3 h = sqrt(3).The height of an equilateral triangle is always sqrt(3) times half the length of a side. This comes out to about 0.866 times the length of a side, so if the side is 10cm long, the height will be 8.66cm.(The height isn't the same as one of the sides, it's about 13/15 of it.)
How do you find the altitude of an equalateral triangle?
By using Pythagoras' theorem.
How do you find the height of an equalateral triangle?
To find the altitude or height of an equilateral triangle, take one-half of the length of a side of the triangle and multiple by "square root" of 3. So, if for example, the side has length 10, the height = 5 Square root of 3.
How do you find the altitude of a triangle?
altitude(height)=(Area * 2) /length(Base)
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)
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.
The altitude of a triangle is 5 m less than its base The area of the triangle is 42 m2 Find the length of the base?
12
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.
The altitude of an equilateral triangle is 8cm . find the side?
The length of each side is 9.2376 cm. (rounded)
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
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
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)
How do you find the diameter of a circle which would touch all three angles of an equalateral triangle?
Double its radius
