Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Finding Base or Height of triangle
▼
The task in the image involves finding either the base or the height of various triangles, given their area and one of these dimensions. The formula for the area of a triangle is:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]

We can rearrange this formula to solve for either the base or the height, depending on what is given:

1. To find the base:
\[
\text{Base} = \frac{2 \times \text{Area}}{\text{Height}}
\]

2. To find the height:
\[
\text{Height} = \frac{2 \times \text{Area}}{\text{Base}}
\]

Let's go through each triangle in the image step by step.

---

Triangle 1:


- Given: Area = 10 square units, Height = 5 units
- Find: Base

Using the formula for the base:
\[
\text{Base} = \frac{2 \times \text{Area}}{\text{Height}} = \frac{2 \times 10}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4 \text{ units}
\]

Answer: Base = 4 units

---

Triangle 2:


- Given: Area = 18 square units, Base = 6 units
- Find: Height

Using the formula for the height:
\[
\text{Height} = \frac{2 \times \text{Area}}{\text{Base}} = \frac{2 \times 18}{6} = \frac{36}{6} = 6 \text{ units}
\]

Answer: Height = 6 units

---

Triangle 3:


- Given: Area = 24 square units, Height = 8 units
- Find: Base

Using the formula for the base:
\[
\text{Base} = \frac{2 \times \text{Area}}{\text{Height}} = \frac{2 \times 24}{8} = \frac{48}{8} = 6 \text{ units}
\]

Answer: Base = 6 units

---

Triangle 4:


- Given: Area = 12 square units, Base = 4 units
- Find: Height

Using the formula for the height:
\[
\text{Height} = \frac{2 \times \text{Area}}{\text{Base}} = \frac{2 \times 12}{4} = \frac{24}{4} = 6 \text{ units}
\]

Answer: Height = 6 units

---

Triangle 5:


- Given: Area = 30 square units, Height = 10 units
- Find: Base

Using the formula for the base:
\[
\text{Base} = \frac{2 \times \text{Area}}{\text{Height}} = \frac{2 \times 30}{10} = \frac{60}{10} = 6 \text{ units}
\]

Answer: Base = 6 units

---

Triangle 6:


- Given: Area = 20 square units, Base = 5 units
- Find: Height

Using the formula for the height:
\[
\text{Height} = \frac{2 \times \text{Area}}{\text{Base}} = \frac{2 \times 20}{5} = \frac{40}{5} = 8 \text{ units}
\]

Answer: Height = 8 units

---

Triangle 7:


- Given: Area = 15 square units, Height = 5 units
- Find: Base

Using the formula for the base:
\[
\text{Base} = \frac{2 \times \text{Area}}{\text{Height}} = \frac{2 \times 15}{5} = \frac{30}{5} = 6 \text{ units}
\]

Answer: Base = 6 units

---

Triangle 8:


- Given: Area = 25 square units, Base = 10 units
- Find: Height

Using the formula for the height:
\[
\text{Height} = \frac{2 \times \text{Area}}{\text{Base}} = \frac{2 \times 25}{10} = \frac{50}{10} = 5 \text{ units}
\]

Answer: Height = 5 units

---

Final Answers:


1. Base = 4 units
2. Height = 6 units
3. Base = 6 units
4. Height = 6 units
5. Base = 6 units
6. Height = 8 units
7. Base = 6 units
8. Height = 5 units

\boxed{4, 6, 6, 6, 6, 8, 6, 5}
