Answer:

h = 6
√(3)

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
√(3)-a

the side length that sees 60 degrees is represented by a
√(3) (h in this case)

the area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying height and base and that is divided by 2

a
√(3)*a/2 = 18
√(3) multiply both sides by 2

a^2
√(3) = 36
√(3) divide both sides by
√(3)

a^2 = 36 find the roots for both sides

a = 6

since h sees angle measure 60 and is represented by a
√(3)

h = 6
√(3)
