Question

A field is in the form of a triangle . If its area be 2.5 m^2 and the length of its base be 250 cm , find its altitude​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height

2.5 = 1/2 * 2.5* height

height = 2 m = 200 cm

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathfrak{Answer}$

$\huge\boxed{Altitude\:=\:0\:.\:5\:m}$

$\huge\underline\mathfrak{Explanation}$

Given : In rt ∆ABC, Area = 2.5m² and Base BC = 250 cm = 2.5 m

To find : Measure of its Altitude.

Solution : We know that,

Area of ∆ = 1/2 × base × height

Put the given values in the above formula,

2.5 = 1/2 × 2.5 × height

=> 2.5 = 0.25 × height

=> height = 0.5 m

Hence, the length of its Altitude is 0.5 m
