Question 59

The base of a triangle is 16 cm and its area is 144 $$cm^{2}$$. Find its corresponding height, with respect to the given base.

Solution

The base of a triangle is 16 cm and its area is 144 $$cm^{2}$$.

Area of a triangle = $$\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height$$

$$144=\frac{1}{2}\times16\times height$$

$$144=8\times height$$

$$height=\frac{144}{8}$$

height = 18 cm
