The area of a triangle is 96 cm2 and the length of one of its sides is 24 cm. What is the length of the perpendicular drawn to this side of the triangle from the opposite vertex?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
We know that,
\(\frac{1}{2}\) × Base × Height
We have,
The area of a triangle = 96 cm2
The length of one of its sides = 24 cm.
96 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 24 × H
= 96 = 12 × H
= H = 8 cm
