Answer:
An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal and each internal angle is 60°.
So if one side is 2a , then the other sides should also be equal to 2a .
Lets name the sides A, B, C.
A=B=C=2a
Now in an equilateral triangle, the height from any of its side is from its mid-point(it is the perpendicular bisector of that side)
Lets consider the side as C.
So by Pythagoras Theorem
h =√{ A2 − (C2)2 }
h = √{ (2a)2−(2a2)2 }
h = √ { 4a2−a2 }
h = √{ 3a2 }
h = a√3
So the height is a√3 for any given value of a
You can find the height by multiplying the value of a by 1.732(approx decimal value of √3)
