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?.

Answer 1

First, calculate the height of the equilateral triangle:
Height = (3√2) * side length
Height = (3*74) * 8
Height = 222 * 8
Height = 1776
So, the approximate height of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters is 1776 meters.
