Question

find the height of a triangle whose base is 50cm and whose area is 500cm²​

Answer 1

Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 X base x height

or, 500 cm² = 1/2 x 50 x Height

or, 500 cm² = 25 x height

or, height = 500/25

or, height = 20 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence, height / Altitude of triangle will be 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to question asked,

We have to determine the altitude / Height of triangle.

As per data given in the question,

We have,

Area of triangle = 500 Sq. cm

Base of triangle = 50 cm

As we know that,

Triangle is a three sided figure,

Sum of all angles of the triangle is 180 degree.

The area of triangle can be determined by using formula $Area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times Height$

So, for determining the height of triangle we will put the value of base and area given in the question in above formula,

Thus we will get it as,

$Area =\frac{1}{2} \times b \times h\\=>500 = \frac{1}{2}\times 50 \times h\\=>h = \frac{500 \times 2}{50}\\=>h = 10\times 2 = 20\:cm$
