Question

If the area of the triangle is 36 sq cm and the height is 3 cm, the base of the triangle will be?

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of triangle = 1/2×base×height

Now as per question,

36 = 1/2×base×3

36×2/3 = base

base = 24 cm

Answer 2

The base of triangle is 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the definition of area of a triangle, we know that

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

Here we are provided with area and height and we need to find out the base. So, by putting the value of area and height in the formula.

We get,

36 = 1/2 x b x 3

36 = b 3/2

b = 36 x 2/3

b =  12 x 2 = 24

Thus, the base of the triangle comes out to be 24 cm
