Question

The sides of a triangle are of length 8cm, 15cm and 17cm. If the length of the altitude drawn on the side with length 17cm is ________

Answer 1

Answer:

120/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Area by heron formula

s= 8+15+17/2

s= 20

s(s-a) (s-b) (s-c)

20*20-17*20-15*20-8

20*3*5*12

area= 60

area=1/2*17*h

60=17/2h

60*2/17=h

120/17 is the altitude
