Question

If area of a triangle is $12c{m}^2$, then which of the following pairs of base and height are possible?

• A. $Base=12cm,Height=1cm$
• B. $Base=6cm,Height=3cm$
• C. $Base=8cm,Height=3cm$
• D. $Base=4cm,Height=6cm$

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

The correct options are
C $Base=8cm,Height=3cm$
D $Base=4cm,Height=6cm$

Area of the triangle $\Delta =\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

$12c{m}^2=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

$base\times height=12\times 2=24c{m}^2$

Hence, C and D option are possible.
