plse help me to solve this
Say we have a triangle...|dw:1366783167510:dw|
It will have three altitudes... this|dw:1366783225483:dw|this|dw:1366783241659:dw|and this|dw:1366783263248:dw|
Catch me so far?
yes
|dw:1366783316890:dw| |dw:1366783334533:dw||dw:1366783352210:dw|
These three altitudes are different, no?
However, for instance, in this case...|dw:1366783457336:dw| the length 61 serves as a base for this triangle corresponding to the height (altitude) \(h_1\) So the area of this triangle can be expressed \[\huge \frac{bh}2=\frac{61h_1}{2}\]
Agree, @msingh ?
how 61 serve as a base i have only doubt about base
A base is a side of the triangle that is perpendicular to its height... and since the side measuring 61 is perpendicular to the height (altitude) \(h_1\) then it is the base. So the area of the triangle is \[\huge \frac{61h_1}{2}=939.148\] Now you can solve for \(h_1\)
okay
Solve for \(h_1\) what do you get?
h1=30.79
That's strange, I get 30.54...
whoops, a typo... Okay, you are correct @msingh Now...
its okay bro
Can you get the value of \(h_2\) in a similar fashion?|dw:1366783850231:dw|
okay one by one i have to take 6 base, ,,35 base and 54 base and find out the height and out of three heights , the greater height will be an answer
Yes. Since you seem to have gotten it, please post your answer when you're done :)
yeah sure,
when 35cm is taken then height = 53.66 and when 54cm, then height =34.78
Bingo. So your final answer would be...?
35cm
^not an altitude.
srry 53.6
Nicely done :)
@terenzreignz thanks bro
Call me Terence, and we'll get along splendidly :)
okay
