Question #f417f

Answer 1

1200 m

Explanation:

First we need to convert all the given values into the same unit, 6 cm is equal to 0.06 m.

Since we know the area of a triangle is equal to one half times the base times the height or `A_triangle = 1/2("b")("h")` and we know the area and the base length, we can find the height of the triangle:
`36 = 1/2(0.06)("h")`
`2*36=2*1/2(0.06)("h")`
`72=0.06("h")`
`72/0.06=0.06/0.06("h")`
`1200="h"`
Therefore the height of the triangle is 1200 m.
