A square is drawn on the altitude of an equilateraltriangle of side 2 meters.a) What is the area of the square?b) What is the altitude of the triangle?

Answer»

Answer:

AREA=3

altitude=√3

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

SINCE it is a equilateral triangle, altitude is also a median

hence it DIVIDES the base side of traingle into EQUAL parts

using pythagorus theorem

altitude^2=2^2-1^1

=4-1

=3

altitude=√3

since square is constructed on altitude it is one of its side

hence area of square=side^2=√3^2=3
