A circle, with radius 8 cm, which has the area equal to the area of a triangle with base 8 cm. Then the length of the corresponding altitude of triangle is:1. 38π cm2. 16π cm3. 18π cm4. 8π cm

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 16π cm

Given:

Radius of circle = 8 cm

An area of a circle = An area of a triangle

The base of a triangle = 8 cm 

Formula used:

If the diameter of a circle is r, then the area of a circle = π × r2 

If in a triangle, the base is b and altitude is h, then an area of triangle = (1/2) × b × h

Calculation:

An area of a circle = An area of a triangle

⇒ π × r2 = (1/2) × b × h

⇒ π × 82 = (1/2) × 8 × h

⇒ h = (π × 64 × 2)/8

⇒ h = 128 π/8

⇒ h = 16π cm

∴ The length of the corresponding altitude of the triangle is 16π​​ cm.
