Question

Find the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side 8 cm.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi friend ✋

side = 8cm

draw a equilateral triangle ABC and draw it it's altitude AD on BC

however the altitude divides the side into two then DC = BD = 4cm

by applying Pythagoras theorem in∆ ADC

AC² = DC² + AD²

then

AD² = 8² - 4²

AD² = 64 -16

AD = √(48)

AD = 4√3cm

hope it helps
