Answer:
The altitude or height of the triangle is 6 meters.
Explanation:
1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:
Area of a triangle = 60 m²
Base = 20 m
2. What is the altitude (h) of the triangle?
Let's recall that the formula of the area of a triangle is:
Area = (Base * Height)/2
Replacing with the real values, we have:
60 = (20 * Height)/2
60 * 2 = (20 * Height) (Multiplying by 2 at both sides)
120 = 20 Height
Height = 120/20 = 6 meters
The altitude or height of the triangle is 6 meters.
