Is the height of an equilateral triangle the same as the side lengths?
No. 1/2 base squared + height squared=side squared on an equilateral triangle.
An equilateral triangle has an area of What is the height?
8.7
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 height of an equilateral triangle with sides of 20?
Height of an equilateral triangle = √3/2 x side = √3/2 x 20 = 10√3 ≈ 17.32
How do you determine the height of an equilateral triangle?
It is the height of the perpendicular line from its vertex to its base
