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)

Question

(How do I calculate this for the future?)

Answer 1

To calculate the height of an equilateral triangle, you can use the formula: height = side length * √3 / 2.

In this case, the side length is 8 meters and √3 is given as 74.

So, height = 8 * 74 / 2.

Calculating this gives us: height = 296 / 2 = 148 meters.

Therefore, the approximate height of the equilateral triangle is 148 meters.
