Answer:

The height of the triangle = 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The area of the triangle = 1/2 × base × height

∵ The length of the base = 5 times the length of the height

Let the length of the height = x, then length of the base = 5x

∴ Area triangle = 1/2 × 5x × x = 2.5 x²

∵ Area of the triangle = 1440 cm²

∴ 2.5 x² = 1440

∴ x² = 1440 ÷ 2.5 = 576

∴ x = √576 = 24 cm

∴ The height of the triangle = 24 cm

Answer: 24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the area of a triangle is:

A=bh/2

Where b is the base and h is the height.

Then if the base of the triangle is 5 times the height:

b=5h

Substitute the above into the formula and solve for the height. Therefore, you obtain that the height is:

1,440=\frac{5h*h}{2}\\1,440=\frac{5h^{2}}{2}

1,440cm^{2}=5h^{2}/2\\h=\sqrt{\frac{2(1,440)}{5}}\\h=24cm

Solution:

<u>Note that:</u>

  • 6x + 26 = 92 (Vertically opposite angle)
  • 92 + 92 + z + z = 360

<u>Finding x.</u>

  • 6x + 26 = 92
  • => 6x = 92 - 26
  • => 6x = 66
  • => x = 11

<u>Finding z.</u>

  • 92 + 92 + z + z = 360
  • => 184 + 2z = 360
  • => 2z = 360 - 184
  • => 2z = 176
  • => z = 176/2 = 88

Answer:

I think it is this because it seems as if It is 2 separate equations.
