Find the altitude $ h $ of an equilateral triangle if side $a = \sqrt{ 10 }$.
Answer
$h = \frac{\sqrt{ 30 }}{ 2 }$
Explanation
To find height $ h $ use formula:
$$ h = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a }{ 2 } $$After substituting $ a = \sqrt{ 10 } $ we have:
$$ h = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot \sqrt{ 10 } }{ 2 } $$$$ h = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 30 } }{ 2 } $$ $$ h = \frac{\sqrt{ 30 }}{ 2 } $$This page was created using
