Question

Given:
Area of the triangle is 40 and
its sides are 40,35,55 cm.
find the length of the longest altitude.

Answer 1

1/2*base*height=40

Answer 2

calculate height

Answer 3

base=?

Answer 4

\[A=\frac{1}{2}ab\sin\theta\]

Answer 5

\[\cos\theta=\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2(a)(b)}\]

Answer 6

put all the length in place of base
the maximum value of height willbe your answer

Answer 7

@gorv A=1/2 bh only works for right angled triangles. >.>

Answer 8

@Azteck
we have to calculate height and it works for mst of the triangls
okkk if i m wrong tell altitude by ur formula??

Answer 9

But it also applies if you know which side is the base.

Answer 10

@Azteck A=1/2 bh works for any type of triangle......only if you are given the required lengths......

Answer 11

thats wat i m saying
the side which will give max altitude will be considered as base

Answer 12

35 will give max height so take it as base

Answer 13

how 35 cmes base

Answer 14

put all the sides in formula told
base =35 will give max altitude that is height
so side=35 will be consideredas the base

Answer 15

k

Answer 16

i got it
