Find the height, h, of the diagram if each circle has a radius of 12 cm.
Find the height, h, of the diagram if each circle has a radius of 12 cm.
h ≈ 65.569 cm
We can construct two equilateral triangles with sides of 24 cm by joining the centers of the circles
The height of one of these triangles = (1//2) side length * sqrt (3) = 12sqrt (3)
So....the height of the the figure =
Height of two equilateral triangles + diameter of a circle =
2 * 12sqrt (3) + 24 =
24 ( 1 +sqrt (3)) ≈ 65.57 cm
