Question

The height of an equilateral triangle equals 3√2 times the side length. Using 74 for the square root of 3, what is the approximate height in meters of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters?(1 point)

*But you said something different! Which one is true?

Given that the side length is 8 meters, we can substitute this value into the equation to find the height: h = 8√3/2

To approximate the height, we can substitute 74 for the square root of 3: h = 8 * 74/2 = 296/2 = 148 meters.

Therefore, the approximate height of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters is 148 meters.

You also said that this was right! confusing!

The height of the equilateral triangle equals 3√2 times the side length. Given that 74 is approximately the square root of 3, we can calculate the height:

Height = 3√2 * Side length
Height = 3 * 74 * 8
Height = 222 * 8
Height = 1776

Therefore, the approximate height in meters of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters is 1776 meters.

You are correct. I apologize for the confusion in my initial response. The correct calculation is indeed h = 8 * √3 / 2.

Using 74 for the square root of 3:
h = 8 * 74 / 2
h = 592 / 2
h = 296 meters

Therefore, the approximate height of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters is 296 meters.

bot go to school instead of plaguing this site with yo trash always-changing gpt generated answer trash, we need us humans to go out their way and share us answers that are guaranteed right, not you confusing us. I got 1 question wrong before when i was right at first, changing it because YOU EXPLAINED IT IN A WAY THAT FEELS LIKE A KNOW IT ALL BACKING THEIR ANSWER UP.

The height of an equilateral triangle is given by the formula height = side length * (√3 / 2).
Using 74 for the square root of 3, we can substitute it into the formula:
height = 8 * (74 / 2)
height = 8 * 37
height = 296 meters.
