The height of an equilateral triangle equals 3√2 times the side length.
Given:
Square root of 3 ( √3) = 74
Side length of the equilateral triangle = 8 meters
To find the height of the equilateral triangle, we can substitute the given values into the formula:
Height = 3√2 * side length
Height = 3 * 74 * 8
= 222 * 8
= 1776
Therefore, the approximate height in meters of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters is 1776 meters.
