let us consider
A = 35 ( side),
B = 54 (base),
C = 61 (side).
a+b+c / 2 => 35 +54 +61 / 2 => 75
Area, A = √s(s – a)(s — b)(s — c) => √/75 (75-35) (75 – 54) (75 – 61) =>
420√5cm²
Now, Area of the triangle is also given as A = 1/2 x a x h
Where, h is the longest altitude. Therefore, 1/2 x a x h = 420√5
Hence, h = 24√//5 cm
