Given:
Area and altitude PS of ∆PQR are ar(∆PQR) = 180cm² and PS = 15.
To find:
The measure of side QR.
Solution:
According to the given information, PS is an altitude of ∆PQR. It means QR is the base of ∆PQR.
We know that, the area of a triangle is
Substituting the given values, we get
Divide both sides by 15.
Therefore, the measure of side QR is 24 cm.
