Segment BD is an altitude of triangle ABC. Find the area of the triangle.
7.5, 9.5, 10, 15
Solution:
From the given figure,
Base of the triangle (AC) = 5 units
Height of the triangle (BD) = 3 units
Area of the triangle = (1/2)(base)(height)
Area = (1/2)(5)(3)
Area = 15/2
Area = 7.5 square units.
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 7.5 square units.
Segment BD is an altitude of triangle ABC. Find the area of the triangle.
Summary:
Segment BD is an altitude of triangle ABC. The area of the triangle is 7.5 square units.
