  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 4 months ago

Here ABC is an equilateral triangle with each side as 'a'.

therefore AD Is the altitude which bisects the base BC into 2 equal halves.

therefore in triangle ABD
AD^2+BD^2=AB^2 ( Pythagoras theorem)

=>AD=√a^2-a^2/4

=>AD=√3a/2.
therefore altitude of the triangle is √3a/2.
