Question

I'm confused, this says the triangle shown below has an area of 50 units2 find the missing side. One side is the length witch is 11 and width is 11 and height is missing.

Answer 1

The height of the given triangle is 9.091 units.

Explanation:

Area of a triangle =
`(1)/(2)` x base x height

From the given question,

area of the triangle = 50
`units^(2)`

length = 11 units

width = 11 units

So that,

50 =
`(1)/(2)` x 11 x height

100 = 11 x height

height =
`(100)/(11)`

= 9.091

The height of the given triangle is 9.091 units.
