When given 40 as the area and the base is 10 whats the height?
40= 1/2 (10 x h) I know it 80, but how is it determine?

given this: 40= 1/2 (10 x h),
i'm assuming that the shape is a triangle
area of a triangle:
A = (1/2)bh
A = 40
b = 10
A = (1/2)bh
40 = (1/2)(10)(h)
40 = 5h
h = 40/5
h = 8
i'm assuming that the shape is a triangle
area of a triangle:
A = (1/2)bh
A = 40
b = 10
A = (1/2)bh
40 = (1/2)(10)(h)
40 = 5h
h = 40/5
h = 8

I assume we're talking triangles here.
The area formula A = bh/2 needs to be rearranged to make h the subject:
2A = bh
2A / b = h, or
h = 2A / b
For this specific question,
h = (2 x 40) / 10
= 8
The area formula A = bh/2 needs to be rearranged to make h the subject:
2A = bh
2A / b = h, or
h = 2A / b
For this specific question,
h = (2 x 40) / 10
= 8

You don't even mention a shape but I am assuming its a triangle.
If yes, then Area = 1/2 * base & height
Height = Area * 2 / base
Height = 8 cm
If yes, then Area = 1/2 * base & height
Height = Area * 2 / base
Height = 8 cm
