Question

the area of a triangle 72 cm squared it's base is 16 what is the height

Answer 1

Answer:

9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times Base\times Height$

Area of triangle = 72 square cm

Base = 16 cm

Substitute the values in the formula to find the length of Height.

72 = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 16 × height

$\frac{72X2}{16}$ = height

9=Height

Hence the Height is 9cm
