The diagonal of a square is the height in an equilateral triangle. If the side of the square is x, what is the side of the equilateral triangle in terms of x?

Diagonal of square = \(\sqrt{2}\) x = Height of the equilateral triangle = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} *side\)

Or, side =\(\frac{ 2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}*x\) =\( \sqrt{\frac{8}{3}}\) *x

So, I think D. :)

Length of square = x
Diagonal of square = √2 x

In the triangle we can se 30:60:90 forming.
Ratio of sides opposite to angles = y: √3 y: 2y
√3 y = √2x
y = √2x/ √3
angle opposite to 90, side of the equilateral triangle = 2y = 2√2x/√3

IMO D

Side of square = x
diagonal of square =x√2
also x√2 is the height of equilateral triangle
Let a be the side of triangle
So, a^2=(x√2)^2 + (a/2)^2

a=√(8/3)X

Ans D
