Question

Work out the height of this triangle with base, b = 8.2mm and area, A = 227.14mm2.

Answer 1

Answer: the height of this triangle is 55.4 mm

Explanation:

`\displaystyle\\Area\ of\ a\ triangle:\ A =\ (ah)/(2) \\\\Hence,\\`

Multiply both parts of the equation by 2:

`2A=ah`

Divide both parts of the equation by a:

`\displaystyle\\(2A)/(a) =h\\\\Thus,\ h=(2A)/(a) \\\\h=(2(227.14))/(8.2) \\\\h=(454.28)/(8,2) \\\\h=55.4\ mm`
