Question

How to find altitude of a obtuse angle triangle

Answer 1

           area of the obtuse triangle is 44 cm2 

          base of the obtuse triangle is 8 cm,

 here we need to find the altitude  of the triangle with the given base and area.

             Area  = `1/2` * b * h

                  44 = `1/2` * 8 * h

                  44 = `1/2 ` * 8 * h

            44 * 2 = 8 * h  

                    h = ` (88)/8` = 11 cm
