what is the height of a triangle that the base is 16m and an area of 64m
A = 1/2bh
64 = (1/2) * 16h
64 = 8h
64/8 = h
8 = h
To find the height of a triangle when the base and area are given, you can use the formula for the area of a triangle. The formula for the area of a triangle is given by the equation:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
In this case, you know the base is 16m and the area is 64m².
Let's plug in the values into the equation:
64m² = (1/2) * 16m * height
Now, simplify the equation:
64m² = 8m * height
To solve for height, divide both sides of the equation by 8m:
64m² / 8m = height
Simplify the expression on the left:
8m = height
Therefore, the height of the triangle is 8 meters.
