If the area A of a triangle is 60sq m (square meters) and the base b is 20m (meters) what is the altitude of h

The altitude or height of the triangle is 6 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Area of a triangle = 60 m²

Base = 20 m

2. What is the altitude (h) of the triangle?

Let's recall that the formula of the area of a triangle is:

Area = (Base * Height) / 2

Replacing with the real values, we have:

60 = (20 * Height) / 2

60 * 2 = (20 * Height) (Multiplying by 2 at both sides)

120 = 20 Height

Height = 120/20 = 6 meters

The altitude or height of the triangle is 6 meters.
