Given : AB=BC=AC=a mm AD = 270 mm

To find : Value of a  

Solution:

Assuming AD ⊥ BC

AB=BC=AC=a mm

=> Equilateral triangle

=> AD ⊥ BC  is also median

=> BD = CD = BC/2  = a/2

Applying Pythagoras theorem

AB² = AD² + BD²

=> a² = 270² + (a/2)²

=> a² = 270² + a²/4

=> 3a²/4 = 270²

=> a² = 270² * 4 / 3

=> a  = 270 * 2/ √3

=> a = 540/√3

=> a = 180√3  

using  √3   = 1.732

a = 180 * 1.732    = 311.76 

a =   311.76    mm  is correct answer
