If the height of a triangle is 5, How long is each side? Formula?
Not enough information given.
Also your subject is math rather than 12th grade.
yes because maths is life and you wont know how to calculate your change so maths its important in life and in future
To determine the length of each side of a triangle when only the height is known, we need some additional information about the triangle. Specifically, we need to know either the base or one of the other side lengths.
If we assume an equilateral triangle, where all sides are equal in length, we can use the following formula:
Side length = 2 * (height / √3)
In this case, the formula would be:
Side length = 2 * (5 / √3)
To calculate the exact numerical value, we need to approximate the value of √3.
Using a calculator, we find that √3 is approximately 1.732.
Now we can calculate the side length:
Side length ≈ 2 * (5 / 1.732) ≈ 5.773
Therefore, in an equilateral triangle where the height is 5 units, each side is approximately 5.773 units long.
