Question

The area of the isosceles triangle is 80 square centimeters. Use the equation 1/2(8h) =80 to find the height of the triangle.

Answer 1

20cm

Explanation:

Given data

Area= 80cm^2

we know that the expression for the area of a triangle is

A= 1/2B*H

from the given expression 1/2(8h) =80 the base is 8cm

let us substitute to find the height h

1/2(8h) =80

4h=80

h= 80/4

h= 20cm

Hence the heigth h is 20cm
