Question

a field is in the form of a triangle .if the length of the base of the field is 200 m and it's area is 17500 m sq. find the altitude of the field.

Answer 1

Area = 1/2 x base x Altitude
17500 = 1/2 x 200 x Altitude
17500 x 2 x 1/200 = Altitude
175m = Altitude
Altitude is 175m

Answer 2

Heya,

According to the question,

Area or triangular field = 17500m²
Base of the field = 200m

Area of field = 1/2×base×Altitude
17500 = 1/2×200×Altitude
Altitude = (17500×2)/200
Altitude of the field= 175m ..... ANSWER

Hope this helps....:)
