A company logo is shaped like an equilateral triangle with 2-in.-long sides. What is the height of the logo? Round to the nearest tenth. A. 1.0 in. B. 1.7 in. C. 2.0 in. D. 1.4 in.

The height of the equilateral triangle is required.

The height of the logo is option B. 1.7 in.

A perpendicular to from one of the vertices of an equilateral triangle bisects the sides into two equal halves.

a = Length of every side of the equilateral triangle = 2 in

b = Length of the bisected length =

From the Pythagoras theorem we have

B. 1.7 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the triangle into 2 congruent right angle triangles

With hypotenuse: 2

Base: 2/2 = 1

Using pythagoras theorem

2² = 1² + h²

h² = 3

h = sqrt(3)

h = 1.732050808

Positive integers are all the whole numbers greater than zero: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... . Negative integers are all the opposites of these whole numbers: -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, …. We do not consider zero to be a positive or negative number. For each positive integer, there is a negative integer, and these integers are called opposites. For example, -3 is the opposite of 3, -21 is the opposite of 21, and 8 is the opposite of -8. If an integer is greater than zero, we say that its sign is positive. If an integer is less than zero, we say that its sign is negative.
