Answer:

Let ABC be the equilateral triangle with AD as an altitude from A meeting BC at D. Then, D will be the midpoint of BC. Applying Pythagoras theorem in right-angled triangle ABD, we get: Hence, the height of the given triangle is 6√3 cm.

Question

  • what is the height of equilateral triangle having each side 12 cm

Given

  • BY THE DIAGRAM
  • AB = 12cm
  • AC = 12cm
  • BC = 12cm ( BD = 1/2 × BC )
  • BD = 6cm and DC = 6cm

Find

  • Height of the triangle ?

Solution

Let ,

  • ABC be the equilateral triangle with AD as an altitude from A meeting BC at D.

Then,

  • D will be the midpoint of BC.

By Pythagoras theorem in right-angled triangle ABD

\sf → AB^2=AD^2+BD^2 \\ \sf→ AD^2=12^2-6^2\\ \sf→ AD^2=144-36\\ \sf→ AD^2=108\\ \sf→ AD=\sqrt{108} \\ \sf AD=6\sqrt{3}

Hence

  • The height of triangle is 6√3 m
