Question

find the height corresponding to base BC of a right triangle ABC , right angled at Aif AB =15 cm, BC= 39 cm and AC =36 cm.​

Answer 1

Answer:

13.84 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC

AB = 15 cm

BC= 39 cm

AC =36 cm

Let the altitude on BC be DA

Since triangle ABC and triangle ADB are similar,

AB/BC = AD/AC

15/39 = AD/36

AD =

$\frac{15 \times 36}{39}$

AD = 13.84 cm (approx)
