Triangle plane surface 2m base and 3 height

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding the calculation of the height and centroid of a triangle with a base of 2 meters and a height of 3 meters. The centroid is located 1 meter from the base, derived from the formula that places it at one-third the height of the triangle. The user seeks clarification on how the value "1" is obtained in their calculations, specifically questioning the relationship between the height and the base. The mention of sine functions indicates a connection to trigonometric principles in determining triangle dimensions. Overall, the conversation aims to clarify the geometric properties and calculations related to the triangle's dimensions.

Where are you ??
that question which I want only about sin

sin = o/h

but my Q now
h= 1 why
is because 3/3
or 2 / 2
or what please help me
 
Your question is unclear to me.
 
I mean
sin30 = y/1
So Xbar = 1.5 + y
So Xbar = 1.5 + 1Xsin30

Now my question from where we got (one)
Is by divide 3/3 as (h/3 ) = 1 or what ?.

please I want your help ?
 
The base of the triangle is the part closest to the surface. If triangle height is 3, the centroid of a triangle is 1/3 the distance from the base to the apex opposite the base. 1/3 of 3 is 1 and 1 is the hypotenuse.
 
thanks sooooooooooo much .. where are you before ... ^)^ ?
