Question

the area of a triangle is equal to the are of the square whose each side measures 10m. Find the length of the side of a triangle corresponding to the altitude measuring 5m.

Answer 1

Answer:

Side of square = 10 m

Height of triangle = 5 m

Area of triangle = Area of square

=> Base *Height /2 = Side ^2

=> Base * 5 / 2 = 10 *10

=> Base = 100*2 / 5

=> Base = 20 * 2

=> Base of triangle = 40

Answer 2

Answer:

40m is the side of the triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

s = 10m

Let side of triangle be t.

area of square = area of triangle

Therefore, $s^{2}$ = (1/2) * 5 * t

100 = (5/2)*t

t = 200/5

t = 40m
