Answer:

28 inch  or 27.7 inch

other side is 16 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

We double the triangle and find each hypotenuse for two triangles to determine base as equilateral

32^2 = base

To find height we half base and multiply by slant = 32 inches

32/2 = 16 inch

Height = 32^2 - 16^2 = a^2  = sq rt 1024 - sqrt 256 = sq rt 768

a^2 = sq rt 768 = 27.7128129 = 28 inch  or 27.7 inch
