Question

Area of a triangle is 24$c{m}^2$, if its base is 12cm find its height

• A. 3cm
• B. 4cm
• C. 6cm
• D. 8cm

Answer 1

The correct option is B 4cm

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$$\times$base$\times$height
24 = $\frac{1}{2}$$\times$12$\times$height
height = $\frac{24\times 2}{12}$ = 2$\times$2 = 4cm
