What is the altitude of an equilateral triangle whose side is 20 cm? |
7\(\sqrt{3}\) cm 8\(\sqrt{3}\) cm 3\(\sqrt{3}\) cm 10\(\sqrt{3}\) cm |
10\(\sqrt{3}\) cm |
(a = side of an equilateral triangle) Altitude of an eq. triangle = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) × a = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) × 20 = 10\(\sqrt{3}\) cm |
