Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of triangle is 40 cm² correct to nearest 5cm² .
∴ Area of triangle = ( 40 ± 5) cm²
∴ upper bound for area of triangle is = (40 + 5) cm² = 45cm²
Base of triangle = 9cm
∵ area of triangle = 1/2 base × height
height = 2 × area of triangle/base
∴ upper bound for height of triangle = 2 × upper bound area/base
= 2 × 45/9 = 10cm
Hence answer is 10cm
