Question

The base of a triangle is 20m and its area is 250m.What is the height of the triangle

Answer 1

height = 25 m

Explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Here A = 250 and b = 20 , then

`(1)/(2)` × 20 × h = 250 , that is

10h = 250 ( divide both sides by 10 )

h = 25 m

Answer 2

the height of the triangle is 25
