Question

The triangle has area of 72cm^2 and base of 18cm find the perpendicular height of the triangle​

Answer 1

8cm

Explanation:

let y represent height

Area of a triangle=½base×height=72cm²

72cm²=½×18cm×y

72cm²=9cmy

72cm²/9cm=9cmy/9cm

8cm=y

Answer 2

The height is 8 cm

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is

A = 1/2 bh

72 = 1/2 (18)h

72 = 9h

Divide each side by 9

72/9 = 9h/9

8 = h

The height is 8 cm
