A.) The height of an equilateral triangle forms a right triangle with one side as the hypotenuse and half of one side as a leg. The height is the other leg, so
a is 1/2 length of side =1/2(12 cm)=6cm
b is the height b=h
c is the hypotenuse, one of the sides=12cm
,
subtract 36 sq cm from each side.
Find square root of each side.
h=10.4 cm ANSWER: The height is 10.4 cm. Answer B is correct.
B.) s=length of side; d=diagonal
d=353.6 feet ANSWER: The length of the diagonal is 353.6 feet. Answer A is correct.
