Question

Each side of an equilateral triangle is 33\sqrt3​ cm. Find the altitude of the triangle.

A.

5.5 cm

B.

4 cm

C.

4.5 cm

D.

5 cm

Correct option is C

Given:

The side length of the equilateral triangle is 33\sqrt{3}​ cm.

Formula Used:
The relationship between the side length s and the altitude h in an equilateral triangle is:

h=32×sh = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times s

Solution:

h =32×33 \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times 3\sqrt{3}​​

h =3×32=92=4.5 cm \frac{3 \times 3}{2} = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5 \, \text{cm}

Thus, the altitude of the equilateral triangle is 4.5 cm.
