Find the length of a side of an equilateral triangle with a height of 5√3
\n" ); document.write( "

The altitude of any equilateral triangle, drawn from any vertex to the 3rd side will BISECT the vertex it's drawn from, as well as the 3rd side it's drawn to. 
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, two (2) 30-60-90 right triangles are formed by this altitude. This also makes the altitude, the LONGER LEG, of each 30-60-90 triangle.

document.write( "The hypotenuse (one of the equilateral triangle's sides) is calculated as: 
\n" );
document.write( "It's as easy as that....nothing COMPLEX and/or CONFUSING! \n" );
