Question

The area of a triangle is 84 CM2. find the altitude corresponding to the side measuring 14 cm?​

Answer 1

12 cm

Explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the altitude )

Here A = 84 and b = 14 , then

`(1)/(2)` × 14 × h = 84

7h = 84 ( divide both sides by 7 )

h = 12

The altitude is 12 cm
