Question

What is the height of the following triangle if the area is 60 square meters? Do not round your answer.

Answer 1

Answer is 8 because I did the quiz on my online school.

Hope it helps

Answer 2

The height of the triangle, h, is 8 m

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle of base b and height h is A = (1/2)(b)(h).

Here b = 15 m and A = 60 m^2. We want the measure of the height, h.

First we solve the area equation (above) for h: 2A = bh, or h = 2A/b,

and then substitute the given values for b and A:

2(60 m^2)

h = ------------------ = 8 m

15 m

The height of the triangle, h, is 8 m
