Find the altitude of a triangle if its area with base 24 cm is equal to the area of a square with side 24 cm.

• A. 24 cm
• B. 18 cm
• C. 20 cm
• D. 36 cm
• E. 48 cm

The correct option is E

48 cm

Let the length of the altitude be `x'.

$\frac{1}{2}\times x\times 24=24\times 24$

$\Rightarrow x=48cm$
