The base of a triangle is 16 cm and its area is 144 cm2. Find its corresponding height, with respect to the given base.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
We know that,
Area of a triangle = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × base × height
We have,
The base of a triangle = 16 cm
and its area = 144 cm2
\(\frac{1}{2}\) × 16 × height = 144
= 8 × height = 144
= height = 18
