Question

Area of a triangle is 1400 cm² the base of the triangle is 5 times the height what is the height of the triangle

Answer 1

≈23.66

Explanation:

Height ---> x

base ---> 5x

Formula for area of triangle: (base*height)/2

((5x)(x))/2 = 1400

`5x^(2)`/2 = 1400

`5x^(2)` = 1400 · 2 = 2800

`x^2` = 2800/5 = 560

x= √560 ≈ 23.66
