the area of a triangle is 84 CM2. find the altitude corresponding to the side measuring 14 cm?​

Sagot :

Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] bh ( b is the base and h the altitude )

Here A = 84 and b = 14 , then

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 14 × h = 84

7h = 84 ( divide both sides by 7 )

h = 12

The altitude is 12 cm
