The area of a triangle is 600 square feet. Find the altitude, in feet, of the triangle if the length of the corresponding base is 30 feet.

40

Wampanoag is correct, it is 40 sq ft.

Well, if the area of the triangle is 600 square feet and the length of the base is 30 feet, then we can use the formula for the area of a triangle: Area = (1/2) * base * altitude.

Let's go through it step by step:
600 square feet = (1/2) * 30 feet * altitude

If we rearrange the equation to solve for the altitude, we get:
altitude = (600 square feet * 2) / 30 feet

Now, let's do some math:
altitude = 1,200 square feet / 30 feet

Calculating that, we find that the altitude is...wait for it...40 feet!

So, the altitude of the triangle is 40 feet. Happy measuring!

To find the altitude of a triangle, you can use the formula:

Area = (1/2) * base * altitude

In this case, we are given the area as 600 square feet and the base as 30 feet. Let's substitute these values into the formula and solve for the altitude.

600 = (1/2) * 30 * altitude

To isolate altitude, we can divide both sides of the equation by ((1/2) * 30):

600 / ((1/2) * 30) = altitude

First, let's simplify the right side:

600 / ((1/2) * 30) = altitude
600 / (1/2) * 30 = altitude
600 / (1/2 * 30) = altitude
600 / (15) = altitude

Now, perform the division on the right side:

600 / 15 = altitude
40 = altitude

Therefore, the altitude of the triangle is 40 feet.

well, you know the formula for the area of a triangle, so plug in your numbers

30h/2 = 600
