Find the height of an equilateral triangle with side length 8.

U need to just do

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment from a vertex to the side opposite is a perpendicular bisector.

The equilateral Δ is divided into 2 right triangles with legs 8 and 4

let height be h, then using Pythagoras' identity

h² = 4² + 8² = 16 + 64 = 80 ( take the square root of both sides )

h = = 4 ← exact value

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
