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.

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.
