Question

The altitude of a right angled triangle having base 8 cm and that of area 24 cm² is
a)6 cm
b)4 cm
c)2 cm
d)5 cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A ) 6 cm

Let

The altitude ( height ) be x

Base = 8cm

Area = 24cm²

Area of the Right Angles Triangle ( A )

A = 1 / 2 × b × h

A = 1 / 2 × 8 × h

24 = 4h

h = 24 / 4

h = 6cm

Hence ;

Altitude ( h ) = 6cm

Answer 2

Answer:

HERE,

AREA OF ∆ = 1/2 × BASE× ALTITUDE

24cm² = 1/2 × 8cm × altitude

24 = 4 × altitude

24/4 = altitude

6 = altitude

or

altitude = 6 cm

then options (a) is correct
