Question

If three sides of a triangle are 6cm 8cm and 10cm then find the altitude of the triangle using the largest side as base

Answer 1

☆$\red {HELLO\:DEAR}$☆

Did you notice that 6^2 + 8^2 = 10^2, so you have a right-angled triangle.

Sketch that triangle ABC, so that AB=8 , BC=6 and AC = 10.

draw the altitude BD, where D is on AC.

label angles A and C as x and y. Yous should notice that you have.

3 similar triangles and we can use ratios to find BD

Using ABC and BDC.

BD/8 = 6/10

BD = 48/10 = 4.8.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

draw a traingle ABC and AD be the height

1. in traingle ABC
2. take traingle ADC
3. AD²=AB²+DB²
4. AD²=5²+5²
5. =36+25
6. AD²=61
7. AD=√61
8. AD=~7.8
