Divide the base in half and draw the median from the apex. This median is also the altitude and so its length is the required height. Also, since it is the altitude, it forms a right angled triangle. Using Pythagoras on this triangle, the height is 9*sqrt(3)/2.
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.
If it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean theorem. If it is iscossolese or scalene, draw line down middle, use pythagorean theorem to solve for missing side.
The slant height is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by the height of the cone and the radius of the base. Use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem (radius)2 + (perp. height)2 = (slant height)2
the Pythagorean theorem helps find the value of the longest side in a right triangle if you know the value of the base and the height.
You find the height by using Pythagoras' theorem and then 0.5*base*height = area.

To find the height of an equilateral triangle, you can use the formula: height = (√3/2) * side length. For an equilateral triangle with side lengths of 8 inches, the height would be (√3/2) * 8 inches, which simplifies to approximately 6.93 inches. This height represents the perpendicular distance from any vertex to the opposite side in an equilateral triangle.
If it is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height since it will be on of the sides. If it is an equilateral triangle, you can break it up into two right triangles and use the part above. If it is an oblique triangle, you use the angles and some trigonometry to find it. Since the area is 1/2 b x h, if you are given the area, you can solve for the height.
You find the height by using Pythagoras' theorem and then 0.5*base*height = area.
Well, what does an equilateral triangle tell you? Each of its angles are 60 degrees. If you split an equilateral triangle in half, you will have two right triangles, which you use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve. You know the base (a), 32cm divided by 2 equaling 16cm (because you split the equilateral triangle in half). You know the hypotenuse (c), 32cm. To find the height (b), you will need to use the Pythagorean Theorem: c2 = a2 + b2 for one of the right triangles. Now, fill in the known information.c2 = a2 + b2322 = 162 + b2322 - 162 = b21024 - 256 = b2768 = b2Take the square root (sqrt) of both sides.sqrt 768 = sqrt b216√3 centimeters, or 27.71 cm.
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
Since the triangle has a hypotenuse, it must be a right triangle. Therefore, the Pythagorean theorem applies, and the height of the triangle must be sq rt (32 - 22).
