Height or altitude

Find the altitude (in cm) of side MT of triangle MNT with side MN = 36 cm, MT = 36 cm and NT = 48 cm.

Correct answer:

h2 =  35.7771 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

MN=36 cm MT=36 cm NT=48 cm  s=2MN+MT+NT=236+36+48=60 cm  S=s (sMN) (sMT) (sNT)=60 (6036) (6036) (6048)=288 5 cm2643.9876 cm2  S = 2MT h2  h2=MT2 S=362 643.9876=16 5=35.7771 cm
