Question

Work out the height of this triangle with base, b = 6.3mm and area, A = 35.595mm2.

Answer 1

Area of a Triangle

`A=bh`

• A = area
• b = base
• h = height

Solving the Question

We're given:

• b = 6.3 mm
• A = 35.595 mm²
  

Plug these values into the equation and isolate h:

`(35.595)=(6.3)h\\h=5.65`

Answer

h = 5.65 mm
