Question

Find the height of a triangle that has an area of 30 square units and a base measuring 12 units.

Answer 1

5 units........................

Answer 2

The height of the triangle is 5 unit.

Explanation:

Given : A triangle that has an area of 30 square units and a base measuring 12 units.

To find : The height of the triangle?

Solution :

The formula to find the area of the triangle is

`\text{Area}=(1)/(2)* \text{Base}* \text{Height}`

We have given,

Area = 30 square units.

Base = 12 units

Substitute in the formula,

`30=(1)/(2)* 12* \text{Height}`

`30=6* \text{Height}`

`\text{Height}=(30)/(6)`

`\text{Height}=5`

Therefore, The height of the triangle is 5 unit.
