If the height of a triangle
is thirice
its base
and its area is 937.5 cm
then what is the height of the triangle

Respuesta :

Answer:

75 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a traingle you use the following equation

b*h*.5

We know that the height of the triange is three times the base and that the area is 937.5

This means that

b*3b*.5=937.5

We can combine this and get 1.5b^2=937.5

We can then divide by 1.5 to get b by itself

b^2=625

Then take the square root for our answer and get b=25 (while be also can be -25 it doesn't make sense to have a negative answer in the context of this problem)

So we know that b=25 and that h=3b which means that the height is 75 cm
