Question

The area of a particular triangle is 30 square meters. If the base length of that triangle is 15m, what is the height of that triangle?

Answer 1

To find the height of the triangle, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

Given that the area is 30 square meters and the base is 15 meters, we can substitute these values into the formula:

\[
30 = \frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times \text{height}
\]

To isolate the height, we can first multiply both sides by 2:

\[
60 = 15 \times \text{height}
\]

Now, divide both sides by 15:

\[
\text{height} = \frac{60}{15} = 4 \text{ meters}
\]

So, the height of the triangle is 4 meters.
