Given that the square root of 3 is approximated as 7/4, we can calculate the height of the equilateral triangle using the formula:
Height = (sqrt(3)/2) * side length
Plugging in the values, we get:
Height = (7/4 * 8) / 2
= (7/2) * 2
= 7 meters
Therefore, the approximate height of the equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters is 7 meters.
The height of an equilateral triangle equals √3/2
times the side length. Using 7/4
for the square root of 3, what is the approximate height in meters of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters?
