Step-by-step explanation:
Let the three sides of the triangle be A,B and C .
Then, draw a line from point D which is at the mid point of BC to A .
Now, you will see that ABD and ADC are two right angled triangle with their base 3cm and hypotenuse 5cm.
Now you can calculate the height using the Pythagoras theorem.
H² = P²+B² ( H= Hypotenuse, B= Base and P= Perpendicular or Height. )
5² = P²+3²
Or, 25 = P²+9
Or, 25-9 = P²
Or, √(25-9) = P
Or, √16 = P
Or, 4 cm = P
Therefore , the height of the triangle is 4 cm.
