In an equilateral triangle of side 3√3 cm, find the length of the altitude.
║⊕ANSWER⊕║
GIVEN
Side of an equilateral ∆ABC= 3√3 cm.
AB = AC = BC = 3√3 cm
Let AD = h (Altitude)
BD = ½ BC( ALTITUDE BISECTS THE BASE)
BD = ½(3√3)
= 3√3/2 cm
AB² = AD²+ BD²
(3√3)² = h² + (3√3/2)²
27 = h² + 27/4
h² = 27 - 27/4
h² = (27×4 -27)/4
h²= (108 -27)/4
h²= 81/4
h=√(81/4)
h= 9/2
= 4.5 cm
∴ Altitude of the equilateral triangle is 4.5 cm
