Find the side $ a $ of a triangular prism if length $l = 5$ and height $h = 6$.
Answer
$a = 4 \sqrt{ 3 }$
Explanation
To find side $ a $ use formula:
$$ h = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a }{ 2 } $$After substituting $ h = 6 $ we have:
$$ 6 = \dfrac{ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a }{ 2 } $$ $$ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a = 6 \cdot 2 $$ $$ \sqrt{ 3 } \cdot a = 12 $$ $$ a = \dfrac{ 12 }{ \sqrt{ 3 } } $$ $$ a = 4 \sqrt{ 3 } $$This page was created using
