Question

Find the height of the triangle A=88CM2b=11CM h=?

Answer 1

Notice that the formula for the area of a triangle is given by :

`A=\frac{b\text{ x h}}{2}`

Where b is the base of the triangle, and h is the base of the triangle. Then, replacing the data given in the problem, we get the following equation:

`88=\frac{11\text{h}}{2}`

Now, by cross -multiplication we get:

`88\text{ x 2 = 11 h}`

this is equivalent to :

`176\text{ = 11h}`

solving for h, we get:

`h\text{ = }(176)/(11)\text{ = 16}`

then, we can conclude that the height of the triangle is

`h\text{ = 16}`
