Answer 11

but i could not really understand it... can provide a explanation for a 6th grader? and not use a scalene triangle?

Answer 12

If you cut out any triangle you want, and hold it on the desk so that one of its sides is laying on the desk, the perpendicular height is just the height from the bottom to the top...that's all it's saying. If you need more help, let me know. I don't have much time today to draw up anything to help explain.

Hope it helps :)
