Question

The area of a triangle is 12.75 m2. If the base of the triangle is 3 m, what is the height of thetriangle?

Answer 1

The area of a triangle is derived as follows;

`\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)* b* h \\ \text{Area}=12.75,\text{base}=3,\text{ therefore height would be} \\ 12.75=(1)/(2)*3* h \\ 12.75=(1*3* h)/(2) \\ \text{Cross multiply and you'll have} \\ (12.75*2)/(3)=h \\ 8.5=h \end{gathered}`

The height o the triangle is 8.5 meters
