What is the formula to find the altitude of an equilateral triangle?

Back

The altitude (h) of an equilateral triangle can be found using the formula: h = (√3/2) * a, where 'a' is the length of a side.

What is the relationship between similar triangles?

Back

In similar triangles, corresponding angles are equal, and the lengths of corresponding sides are proportional.

What is the Pythagorean theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b): c² = a² + b².

How do you determine if three lengths can form a triangle?

Back

Three lengths can form a triangle if the sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than the length of the third side.
