Anjali is putting a border around a right triangle and needs to figure out the triangle's height. If the triangle has a base length of 18 in. and a total area of 36 in.2, what is the height?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for area of a triange is 1/2bh, so fill in the variables and set that equal to 36

Height of the right angled triangle is equals to 4in.

What is right angled triangle?

" A right angled triangle is a two dimensional closed figure with three vertices and three angles,  one of the angle should be of measure 90 degrees."

Formula used

Area of right angled triangle = ( 1 / 2) × base × height

According to the question,

Base of the right angled triangle = 18in.

Area of the right angled triangle = 36 in²

Let 'h' represents the height of the triangle

Substitute the value in the formula we have,

  36 = ( 1 / 2) × 18 × h

⇒36 = 9h

h = 4in.

Hence, height of the right angled triangle is equals to 4in.
