Question 1035383: A triangular piece of sheet metal weighs 10.8 kg. The base of the triangle is 1.5 m and the altitude is 2m. How much does this sheet metal weigh per square meter? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
Area of triangle = 1/2(base x altitude height)
Area = 1/2(1.5 x 2)
Area = 1.5 m^2
Piece of metal weighs 10.8 kg
10.8/1.5 = 7.2
This piece of metal weighs
7.2 kg per m^2
Hope this helps :-)
