the triangle corresponding to 8 m side is 10 m, find the height of the
triangle corresponding to 6 m side.​

Answer 1

Answer:

the height of the triangle corresponding to 8cm side is 3cm.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

BC=6cm

Height, AD=4cm

Therefore,

Area of triangle

=

2

1

×base×height

=

2

1

×BC×AD

=

Also,

Area of triangle =

2

1

×AC×BE

∴

1

×8×BE=12

⇒BE=

8

12×2

=3cm

Hence the height of the triangle corresponding to 8cm side is 3cm.
