Answer:
h = 6[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is the special right triangle with angle measures : 90-60-30
and the side lengths for the given angles are represented by :
2a-a[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]-a
the side length that sees 60 degrees is represented by a[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] (h in this case)
the area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying height and base and that is divided by 2
a[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]*a/2 = 18[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] multiply both sides by 2
a^2[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] = 36[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] divide both sides by [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]
a^2 = 36 find the roots for both sides
a = 6
since h sees angle measure 60 and is represented by a[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]
h = 6[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]
