Sides AB and BC of triangle ABC are 32 cm and 44 cm respectively

Sides AB and BC of triangle ABC are 32 cm and 44 cm respectively, and the height drawn to side AB is 22 cm. Find the height drawn to the BC side.

The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the side of the triangle by the height drawn to that side. Let’s find the area along the AB side and the height drawn to it:

S = AB * h;

S = 32 * 22;

S = 704 cm².

Knowing the area, we find the height drawn to the side of the aircraft:

h = S / BC;

h = 704/44;

h = 16 cm.
