The height of a triangle is 9 cm

<h3>What is Triangle?</h3>

A polygon with three edges and three vertices is called a triangle. It is one of the fundamental geometric shapes. Triangle ABC is the display style for a triangle with vertices A, B, and C.
In Euclidean geometry, any three points that are not collinear produce a singular triangle and a singular plane (i.e. a two-dimensional Euclidean space).
In other words, every triangle is contained in a plane, and there is only one plane that contains that triangle.
All triangles are enclosed in a single plane if all of the geometry is the Euclidean plane, however, this is no longer true in higher-dimensional Euclidean spaces.
Except when otherwise specified, this article discusses triangles in Euclidean geometry, namely the Euclidean plane.

given that

let the height of the triangle be x

then the width is x-3

Area = $\frac{height \times length}{2}$
