Question

if the area of a triangle is 48 cm and its base is 12 cm , then its vertical height is?

Answer 1

1/2×b×h=48
12×h=96
h=96/12
=8

Answer 2

• area of a triangle is 1/2*base*height (1/2*b*h)
• given: area of the triangle = 48 cm^2 , base = 12 cm , height = ?
• let height be x ,
• as , 1/2*base*x = 48 cm^2
• 1/2*12*x = 48
• 6x = 48
• x =48/6

• x = 8

  ∴height of the triangle is 8 cm
