Question

The three sides of a triangle are 40 cm,24 cm and 32 cm. Find the height corresponding to the longest side.

Answer 1

Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation: According to formula $\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$

s = 40 + 24 + 32/2

s = 48

s-a = 48-40 = 8

s-b = 48-24 = 24

s-c = 48-32 = 16

putting the value $\sqrt{48*8*24*16}$

$\sqrt{384*384\\}$

384 = area of the triangle

area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height

let any side be base so base = 32

putting the values

1/2 * 32 * h = 384

h = 384 * 2/32

h = 12 * 2

h = 24
