Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

40m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of triangle = Area of square ( 10 × 10)

Area of triangle = $100m^{2}$

Area of triangle = 1/2 × b × h

$100m^{2}$ = 1/2 × b × h

h = 5m

$100m^{2}$ = 1/2 × b × 5

b = 100/5 × 2 = 40m
