Question

Find the base of a triangle whose area is 0.6 cm^2 and altitude is 4 cm.



​

Answer 1

Given :-

★ Area of triangle = 0.6 cm²

★ Altitude of triangle = 4 cm

To Find :-

★ What is the base of the triangle?

Solution :-

We know,

$Area \: of \: traingle = \sf\dfrac{1}{2}× Base × Height$

On putting the given values in the formula, we get

⟹ 0.6 = ½ × 4 × Base

⟹ Base = 0.3 cm

Hence,

$\underline{ \overline{ \boxed{ \purple{ \bf{ \: \:Base= 0.3 \: cm \: \: }}}}}$

Answer 2

Given ,

• Area of Δ = 0.6 cm²
• Height of Δ = 4 cm

We know that , the area of triangle is given by

Area = 1/2 × Base × Height

Thus ,

$\sf \mapsto 0.6 = \frac{1}{ \cancel{2}} \times base \times \cancel{4 } \\ \\\sf \mapsto base = 0.3 \: \: cm$

Therefore , the base of triangle is 0.3 cm
