Question

area of a triangle is 60sq base is 10cm what is the height ?

Answer 1

Here is the answer

Area of triangle = $\bf {\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height}$

Base = 10 cm
Area of triangle = 60sq.cm

Using the formula,

$\bf{60 = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times h}$

$\bf{60 \times 2 = 10 \times h}$

$\bf{120 = 10 \times h}$

$\bf{\frac{120}{10} = h}$

$\bf{12 \: cm = h}$

Hence, the height of the triangle is 12 cm.

Answer 2

Hi friend ,

Area of triangle =  1/2 × base × height

• 60 cm² = 1/2 × 10 × height
• 60 = 5 × height
• 60/5 = height   .........transposing
• 12 cm = height

Hope this helps :)
