Question

Find the area of a triangle :
(i)whose height is 6 cm and base is 10 cm.
(ii) whose three sides are 17 cm, 8 cm and 15 cm long,
Also, in part (ii) of this question; calculate the length of the altitude corresponding
to the largest side of the triangle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. answer is

Area = Base * Height

        =6cm * 10cm

         =60cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

2. s= (a+b+c)/2

      = (17+8+15)cm/2

       =20cm

area= root 20* 20-17*20-8*20-15

         = root 3600cm^4

           = 60 cm^2

altitude corresponding to the largest side= 60cm^2/17cm
