27=H^{2}
Multiply 9 and 3 to get 27.
H^{2}=27
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
H=3\sqrt{3} H=-3\sqrt{3}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
27=H^{2}
Multiply 9 and 3 to get 27.
H^{2}=27
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
H^{2}-27=0
Subtract 27 from both sides.
H=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-27\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -27 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
H=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-27\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
H=\frac{0±\sqrt{108}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -27.
H=\frac{0±6\sqrt{3}}{2}
Take the square root of 108.
H=3\sqrt{3}
Now solve the equation H=\frac{0±6\sqrt{3}}{2} when ± is plus.
H=-3\sqrt{3}
Now solve the equation H=\frac{0±6\sqrt{3}}{2} when ± is minus.
H=3\sqrt{3} H=-3\sqrt{3}
The equation is now solved.
