Description : The sides of a triangle are 35 cm, 54 cm and 61 cm, respectively. The length of its longest altitude -Maths 9th
Last Answer : s= 2 a+b+c = 2 35+54+61 =75 Area, A= s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c) = 75(75−35)(75−54)(75−61) =420 5 cm 2 Now, Area of the triangle is also given as A= 2 1 ×a×h Where, h is the longest altitude. Therefore, 2 1 ×a×h=420 5 Hence, h=24 5 cm
