Find the side $ a $ of a triangular prism if length $l = 38.6$ and height $h = 12.4$.
Answer
$a = 14.3183$
Explanation
To find side $ a $ use formula:
$$ h = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a }{ 2 } $$After substituting $ h = 12.4 $ we have:
$$ 12.4 = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a }{ 2 } $$ $$ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a = 12.4 \cdot 2 $$ $$ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a = 24.8 $$ $$ a = \dfrac{ 24.8 }{ \sqrt{ 3 } } $$ $$ a \approx 14.3183 $$This page was created using
