The formula for the height,h, of an equilateral triangle is h= √3/2s, where s is the length of the following

Question

A.In terms of the length of a side,s, only
B. In terms of the height,h only

Answer 1

You must not want help for this problem since you have ignored the answer you've already received.

Answer 2

You do not say what the question is. When Steve answered he guessed you wanted the area of the triangle, and that seems a reasonable assumption. However you posted this question twice with no question.

Answer 3

sorry guys i ended up pressing submit on accident. the question was asking to write a formula for the area of an equilateral triangle in terms of the following: Write a formula for the area of an equilateral triangle in terms of the following:
A.in terms of the length of a side,s, only
B. in terms of the height, h only.
I am having a hard time with this question, as I recall is the area for a triangle when only given side and height is sh/2?

Answer 4

from right triangle of hypotenuse s and leg s/2 you get
h = (s/2)sqrt 3 so s/2 = h/sqrt3
then
area = A = (s/2)(s/2)sqrt 3 = (s^2/4)sqrt 3

and A = (s/2)h = (h/sqrt 3)h =h^2 /sqrt 3
