the area of a triangular flag which has its 2 sides equal 2700sq
what is the perpendicular distance from the tip of the flag to the third side which is 60cm in length?
:
We know the area of a triangle = 1%2F2*b*h
In this problem:
b = 60 cm
h is perpendicular distance to the tip of the flag
1%2F2*60*h = 2700
30h = 2700
h = 2700
h = 90 cm
