Question 436074: A triangle with an area of 36 square meters has a base that is 10 meters long. What is the height of the triangle? Answer by unlockmath(1688) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
We know the formula for area of a triangle is:
A=1/2bh
We can plug in the following numbers:
36=1/2(10)h
This can be rewritten as:
36=5h
Divide both sides by 5 to get:
height = 36/5 or 7 1/5 meters
Make sense?
