Question

a triangle with an area of 45.5cm2 has a base that measures 14 cm. find the height of the triangle

Answer 1

Multiply the area by 2
45.5 x 2 = 91
Divide by the base
91/14 = 6.5
The height is 6.5 cm
I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Height of the triangle is 6.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a triangle with an area of 45.5 cm^2 has a base that measures 14 cm

Area of the triangle = 45.5 cm^2

Base of the triangle = 14 cm

Area of the triangle formula is $\frac{1}{2} \cdot base \cdot height$

Now replace all the values in the formula

$Area =\frac{1}{2} \cdot base \cdot height$

$45.5=\frac{1}{2} \cdot 14 \cdot height$

$45.5=7 \cdot height$

Divide both sides by 7

6.5= height

Height of the triangle is 6.5 cm
