The height of an equalateral triangle equals square root of 3/2 times the side length. Using 7/4 for the square root of 3, what is the approximate heights in meters of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters

1 answer

To find the height of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters, we can use the formula given:

Height = (√3/2) * side length

Given that √3 is approximately 7/4, we can substitute this value into the formula:

Height = (7/4) * 8

Height = 7 * 2

Height = 14 meters

Therefore, the approximate height of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters is 14 meters.
