The base of a triangle is 6cm the area of the shape if 78.find the height
The options are
8
13
10
12
To find the height of the triangle, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = (base * height) / 2
We are given the base of the triangle as 6 cm and the area as 78.
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
78 = (6 * height) / 2
To solve for the height, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2 and then divide by 6:
(h * 6) = 78 * 2
h = (78 * 2) / 6
h = 26
Therefore, the height of the triangle is 26 cm.
None of the provided options (8, 13, 10, 12) matches this value.
