Question

Pls help i dunno how to do this lol

Answer 1

The height of the triangle is: h = 6.4 cm

Explanation:

Given

Area of the triangle A = 40 cm²

The Base of the triangle b = 12.5 cm

To determine

height of triangle h = ?

We know that the area A of a triangle is:

A = 1/2 bh

where

• b is the base

• h is the height of the triangle.

so

A = 1/2 bh

substituting A = 40 and b = 12.5

40 = 1/2 (12.5) h

40 × 2 = 12.5 h

12.5 h = 80

divide both sides by 12.5

12.5h/12.5 = 80/12.5

h = 6.4 cm

Thus, the height of the triangle is: h = 6.4 cm
