Question

The area of a triangle is equal to the area of a parallelogram whose base is 15 cm arid height
is 8 cm. If the base of the triangle is 20 cm, find its altitude

Answer 1

Answer:

The altitude of triangle is 12 cm.

Explanation:

Area of Parallelogram = Area of Triangle

b * h = 1/2 * b* h

15 * 8 = 1/2 * 20 * h

120 = 10h

h= 120/10 = 12 cm
