Answer 1

Answer:

$\implies \: \frac{1}{2} \times 48 \times h = 240$

$\implies \: 48 \times h = 240 \times 2$

$\implies \: h = \frac{240 \times 2}{48}$

$\implies \: h = 10$

Answer 2

Question:-

the area of a triangle is 240 metre square .if its base is 48m, find the length of the corresponding altitude

Answer:-

• The height of triangle is 10 m

To find:

• Height of triangle

Solution:-

• Area of triangle = 240 m²
• Base of triangle = 48 m

As we know,

$\boxed { \frac{1}{2} \tt {\times b \times h = area}}$

Where,

• b = base of triangle
• h = height of triangle

According to question,

$: \implies \: \: \: \: \: \sf {\frac{1}{2} \times 48 \times h = 240}$

$: \implies \: \: \: \: \: \sf {48 \times h = 240 \times 2}$

$: \implies \: \: \: \: \: \sf {h = \frac{240 \times 2}{48} }$

$: \implies \: \: \: \: \: \sf { h = 10}$

Hence,

The height of triangle is 10 m.
