Step-by-step explanation:
given
equilateral triangle ABC with each side a and a d as one of its altitude
to prove
3 into square of one side is equal to 4 into square of one side of its amplitude
therefore 3apower of 2 equal to 4ad too the power of 2
proof
in triangle ADB and triangle is d c a b equal to AC( both as its amplitude),a d equal to a d (common side ). angle adb equal to angle a d c equal to 90 degree
is triangle ADB equal to triangle ADC is equal to by RHS congruence
BC equal to DC cpct
BC equal to DC equal to half of DC BC equal to DC is equal to 1 by 2
now ADB is a right angle triangle using Pythagoras theorem
hypotenuse square equal to height square + base square
ab square equal to ad square +bd square
a square equal to A D square + of a whole to the power of square
a square is equal to a square + a by four square
a square minus A square by 4 equal to 80 square .
four square minus A square by 4 equal to a square
3 a square by 4 equal to a square
a square equal to 4 into square
3 a square equal to 4ad square
