The area of a triangle is 1,140 cm^2. The base of the triangle is 5 times the height. What is the height of the triangle ?

The height of the triangle is 21.35 cm

Explanation:

It is given that the area of the triangle =

Let h be the height of the triangle.

It is also given that the base is 5 times the height.

Thus,

Now, substituting these values in the formula,

Multiplying both sides by 2,

Dividing both sides by 5,

Taking square root on both sides, we get,

Thus, the height of the triangle is

this is false ^.^ lol
