To find the height of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters, we can use the formula:
Height = (square root of 3) * (side length) / 2
Substituting square root of 3 as 7 over 4 and the side length as 8, we have:
Height = (7/4) * 8 / 2
= (7/4) * 4
= 7
Therefore, the approximate height of the equilateral triangle is 7 meters.
using 7 over 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?
