Question

The area of a triangular flag with two equal sides is 2700 sq. cm. What is the perpendicular distance from tip of the flag to the third side which is 60 cm in length?

Answer 1

two equal sides of triangle = 2700/60=45

thus the two equal sides are 45

since perpendicular distance is asked the triangle is divided by a line which divides the base (60cm) that becomes 30

perpendicular distance=

h^2=b^2+p^2

45^2=30^2+p^2

p^2=45^2-30^2

=15^2

therefore the perpendicular distance between the tip of the flag to the third side is 15 cm
