Algebra.Com's Answer #184392 by drk(1908)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Instead of radius I think you mean altitude of the triangle is 2sqrt(3). \n" ); document.write( "If we use this assumption, your equilateral triangle is cut by this altitude into two 30-60-90 triangles. \n" ); document.write( "The side opposite 60 degrees is 2sqrt(3). \n" ); document.write( "The side opposite the 30 degrees will be 2. \n" ); document.write( "The hypotenuse (side of the equilateral triangle) will be 4. \n" ); document.write( "There are special formulas for the 30-60-90. \n" ); document.write( "Now, we can find the area using the formula you stated in the question: \n" ); document.write( "A = \n" ); document.write( "A = \n" ); document.write( "A = \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
