Question

The height of a triangle whose area is $60c{m}^2$ and the corresponding base is 24 cm is ___ cm.

• A. 5 cm
• B. 10 cm
• C. 12.5 cm
• D. 2.5 cm

Answer 1

The correct option is A 5 cm

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{base}\times \text{height}$
$\frac{1}{2}\times 24\text{cm}\times h=60c{m}^2$
$12h=60\text{cm}$
$h=5\text{cm}$
