Math Problem Statement
Find the base and height of the given triangle.
Solution
From the image, the given triangle has the following labeled dimensions:
- The hypotenuse is 8 m.
- One leg (height) is 6 m.
- The base of the triangle is 12 m.
Finding the missing values:
-
Base:
The base is clearly labeled as 12 meters. -
Height:
The height is shown as 6 meters.
Thus, the answers are:
- Base = 12 m
- Height = 6 m
