Step 1: Identify the given information for the first triangle.
The base of the first triangle is b1=14 cm.
The area of the first triangle is A1=98cm2.
Step 2: Calculate the area of the second triangle.
The problem states that the area of the second triangle (A2) is double the area of the first triangle (A1).
A2=2×A1
A2=2×98cm2
A2=196cm2
Step 3: Identify the given information for the second triangle.
The base of the second triangle is b2=14 cm (same as the first triangle).
The area of the second triangle is A2=196cm2.
We need to find the height of the second triangle, h2.
Step 4: Use the formula for the area of a triangle to find the height of the second triangle.
The formula for the area of a triangle is:
A=21×base×height
For the second triangle:
A2=21×b2×h2
Substitute the known values:
196cm2=21×14cm×h2
196cm2=7cm×h2
Now, solve for h2:
h2=7cm196cm2
h2=28 cm
The height of the second triangle is 28 cm.
Comparing this with the given options:
A. 21 cm
B. 7 cm
C. 28 cm
D. 14 cm
The correct option is C.
The final answer is 28cm.
