Q. The area of a triangle is 18 square units and the base of the triangle is 12 units. The height of the triangle would be
(A) 15 units
(B) 9 units
(C) 6 units
(D) 3 units
Answer:- (D) 3 units
Solution:-
We know that Area of a triangle = (1/2) × base × height
Given:
- Area = 18 square units
- Base = 12 units
Let’s height of the triangle be ‘h’.
⇒ 18 = (1/2) × 12 × h
⇒ 18 = 6 × h
⇒ h = 18 / 6
⇒ h = 3
Therefore, the height of the triangle is 3 units.
So, the answer is (D) 3 units.
