1.	6. Find the altitude of a triangle if its base is12 cm and area is 48 cm2.(2)with explanation plz
Answer» GIVEN: Base of the triangle = 12 cm Area of triangle = 48 cm² TO FIND: What is the height of the triangle ? SOLUTION: Let the height of the triangle be 'h' cm To find the area of triangle, we use the formula:- $\large{\boxed{\bf{\star \: AREA = \dfrac{1}{2} \times BASE \times HEIGHT \: \star}}}$ BASE = 12 cm HEIGHT = h cm AREA = 48 cm² According to question:- ➜ 48 = $\sf{\dfrac{1}{2}}$ $\times$ 12 $\times$ h ➜ 48 = 6h ➜ $\sf{\cancel\dfrac{48}{6}}$ = h ❮ 8 cm = h ❯ ❝ HENCE, the height/altitude of the triangle is 8 cm ❞ ______________________
