Question

The area of this triangle is 64.8 km². Find the height h.

18 km is the base.
The height of the triangle is?

Answer 1

7.2 km

Explanation:

the formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2*b*h where b is its base and h is its height. now let's solve for the height

64.8=1/2*18h

64.8=9h

64.8/9=h

7.2 km=h

Answer 2

Answer: 16.2 km

Explanation:

The height of the triangle can be found using the area formula for triangles:

Area = (1/2) × base × height

Rearranging the formula to solve for the height gives:

height = (2 × Area) / base

In this case, the area of the triangle is 64.8 km² and the base is given as 8 km. So, the height of the triangle can be calculated as:

height = (2 × 64.8 km²) / 8 km

height = 16.2 km
