Question
Find the height of an equilateral triangle having side 2a.
Advertisements
Solution
Since, ABC is an equilateral triangle, AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC.
According to Pythagoras theorem,
In ∆ABD,
AB2 = AD2 + BD2
∴ (2a)2 = AD2 + a2
∴ 4a2 − a2 = AD2
∴ AD2 = 3a2
∴ AD = `sqrt3`a
Hence, the height of an equilateral triangle is `sqrt3`a
