Areas of an Isosceles Triangle and an Equilateral Triangle Problems with Solutions
1. Find the area of the following triangles :
Solution:
(i) Base = 6 cm and height = 5 cm.
∴ Area of the triangle = ½ × base × height
= ½ × 6 cm × 5 cm = 3 cm × 5 cm
= 15 sq cm.
(ii) Base = 3.2 cm and height = 2 cm.
Therefore, area = ½ × base × height
= ½ × 3.2 × 2 = 3.2 cm × 1 cm = 3.2 sq cm
(iii) Base = 6 cm and height = 7.4 cm.
Therefore, area = ½ × base × height
= ½ × 6 cm × 7.4 cm = 3 cm × 7.4 cm
= 22.2 sq cm.
(iv) Base = 10 cm and height = 7.5 cm.
∴ Area of the triangle = ½ × base × height
= ½ × 10 cm × 7.5 cm = 5 cm × 7.5 cm
= 37.5 sq cm.
2. Find the height of a triangle whose base is 60 cm in figure and whose area is 600 sq cm.
