Question

The area of a triangle is 30 square centimeters and its base is 10 cm. What is the height in cm of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the triangle is $6$ cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

----------------------------------------

The formula for solving the area of a triangle is  $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$ where $b$ stands for base and $h$ stands for height.

Let's substitute 30 $cm^2$ for the area and 10 for the base.

$30=\frac{1}{2} (10)h$

-------------------->>>>

Now, let's solve to find the height.

$30=\frac{1}{2}(10)h$

Multiply $\frac{1}{2}$ times $10$

$30=5h$

Divide both sides by 5.

$6=h$
