Help please :’)

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

Because if its all equal sides then you just divide 48 by 3 which gives 16 since there is 3 sides is how you got the 3

Answer 2

Height = 13.86 cm

Explanation:

1. Find the length of each side

48/3 = 16

2. cut the triangle in half.

Base = 8 Hypotenuse = 16

3. use the formula A^2 + B^2 = C^2

(16^2 - 8^2)^(1/2) = 13.86 cm
