Answer:
The height of the triangle is: h = 6.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Area of the triangle A = 40 cm²
The Base of the triangle b = 12.5 cm
To determine
height of triangle h = ?
We know that the area A of a triangle is:
A = 1/2 bh
where
- h is the height of the triangle.
so
A = 1/2 bh
substituting A = 40 and b = 12.5
40 = 1/2 (12.5) h
40 × 2 = 12.5 h
12.5 h = 80
divide both sides by 12.5
12.5h/12.5 = 80/12.5
h = 6.4 cm
Thus, the height of the triangle is: h = 6.4 cm
