Question

A triangle with an area of 80 m2 has a base of 16 m. What is its height?

Answer 1

Answer:

10m

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the area of a triangle is given by the following formula:

Area = (1/2) x Base x Height

IN our case, we are given that the area is 80m² and the Base is 16m

Substituting the known values above into the equation:

Area = (1/2) x Base x Height

80= (1/2) x 16 x Height

80= 8 x Height  (divide both sides by 8 and rearrange)

Height = 80 / 8 = 10 m

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

height is 10 m

Step-by-step explanation:

using the formula

A = Hb b/ 2

solving for Hb

Hb = 2 A/b = 2 * 80/16 = 10m
