Question

a kite was broken into two triangles. the height of the triangle h is 8 cm.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the relationship between the original kite and the broken triangles

The original kite (a rhombus - like shape) has a height of \(16\) cm. When broken into two triangles, the sum of their heights is equal to the height of the original kite.

Step2: Calculate the height \(h\) of each triangle

Since the two triangles are congruent (assuming the break is symmetrical), we divide the total height of the kite by \(2\). So \(h=\frac{16}{2}\)

Answer:

\(8\)
