To find the height of an equilateral triangle, you can multiply the side length by √3/2.
Given that √3/2 is approximately 7/4, the height of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters can be approximated as:
Height = (Side length) * (√3/2)
Height = 8 * (7/4)
Height = 14 meters.
So, the approximate height of the equilateral triangle is 14 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?(1 point)
