Question 1030774: Hi
the area of a triangle is 72cm square. What are the possible length of the base and perpendicular height.
thank you Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Area of a triangle =
1/2(base x perpendicular height)
1/2(base x perpendicular height) = 72
Multiply both sides by 2
base x perpendicular height = 144
Perpendicular height = 144/Base
or
Base = 144/Perpendicular height.
........................
Now you can substitute any number
for the perpendicular height or
the base and get the equivalent
size for the base and perpendicular
height.
Hope this helps :-)
