Question

Find the height of the triangle if it's area is 0.06sq m and base is 60cm

Answer 1

The height of the triangle is equal to
`20\ cm`

Explanation:

we know that

The area of triangle is equal to

`A=(1)/(2)(b)(h)`

we have

`A=0.06\ m^(2)`

`b=60\ cm=60/100=0.60\ m`

Substitute in the formula and solve for h

`0.06=(1)/(2)(0.60)(h)`

`0.12=(0.60)(h)`

`h=0.12/(0.60)=0.2\ m`

Convert to cm

`0.2\ m=0.2*100=20\ cm`
