Question

Determine the height in meters of a triangle with an area of 72 square meters and a base of 28 meters.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The area A of a triangle is given by

`A = (1)/(2)bh`

where b is the length of the base and h is its height. Solving for h, we get

`h = (2A)/(b) = \frac{2(72\:\text{m}^2)}{28\:\text{m}}`

`\:\:\:\:= 5.14\:\text{m}`
