Question

What is the value of h?

Answer 1

55

Explanation:

In triangle ABC (LET'S SAY TRIANGLE IS ABC)

Angle A=40

Angle B = Angle C = x (since 2h is beside B and C both)

40+x+x=180 (Angle sum property)

40+2x=180

2x=140

x=70

2h+70=180 (Angle in a straight line=180)

2h=110

h=55

Answer 2

35

All angles of a triangle = 180 degrees subtract 40 from 180 and you get 140

180-40=140 because the other angles are equal with the same equation to get them divide 140 by 2 140/2=70 then you have to get h alone so you divide by the other 2 in the equation 70/2=35 h=35
