well if its equilateral all sides are the same length

there for you can draw a line down the middle and make a rightangled triangle with base half that of the original trangle base and diagonal equal to the base length.

Then its just pythagorous.

hight= base^2 - (base/2)^2

Hope that helps :)

Or
Tan=o/a=equilateralheight/halfbase=tan(60 degrees)
