Answer:
Suppose ABC is a equilateral triangle with 4 cm each side.
Measure of AO will be :
If measure of BC = 4 cm
Measurement of OC will be 2 cm
Hence, ∆ AOC is a right angled triangle
By Pythagoras theorem,
(hypotenuse)² = (base)² + (height)²
(AC)² = (OC)² + (AO)²
(4)² = (2)² + (AO)²
(4)² - (2)² = (AO)²
20 = (AO)²
√20 = AO
★ Answer :
Height of equilateral triangle will be √20
