Answer:
22 cm is the height of the right triangle .
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the triangle = A = [tex]726 cm^2[/tex]
Let the base 'b' of the triangle be x
A right triangle's height 'h' is 3 times the length of its base we can also be written as:
= h = 3x
Area of the triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}b\times h[/tex]
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}b\times h[/tex]
[tex]726 cm^2=\frac{1}{2}\times x\times 3x[/tex]
[tex]x^2=\frac{726 cm^2\times 2}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x=22 cm[/tex]
Height of the right triangle = h = 3x = 3 × 22 cm = 66 cm
