The height of an equilateral triangle equals √3/2 times the side length.
Using 7/4 for the square root of 3, we can multiply it by 12 meters to find the approximate height of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 12 meters.
The height ≈ (7/4) * 12 = 21 meters/4 = 5.25 meters.
Therefore, the approximate height in meters of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 12 meters is 5.25 meters.
None of the given options (A, B, C, or D) matches the approximate height value.
