Question

the base of a triangle is 23 cm long and its area is 161sq cm find the length of the corresponding altitude​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the corresponding height be x

since area of a triangle is half base × height

= 1/2 × 23 × x = 161

23x/2 = 161

23x = 161 × 2

23x = 322

x = 322/ 23

x = 14

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

let the corresponding height be x  

since area of a triangle is half base × height

= 1/2 × 23 × x = 161

23x/2 = 161

23x = 161 × 2

23x = 322

x = 322/ 23

x = 14
