Area of a circle=$$\pi$$$$r^2$$= $$\pi$$$$(7)^2$$= 49$$\pi$$

Area of a triangle= $$\frac{1}{2}$$*7*h

Area of a triangle= Area of a circle

$$\frac{1}{2}$$*7*h= 49$$\pi$$

h= 14$$\pi$$

So, Altitude of a triangle= 14$$\pi$$

Area of triangle = Area of circle
Area of circle = A = $$πr^2$$ = $$π 7^2$$
Area of triangle = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ x base x altitude = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ x 7 x h = $$π 7^2$$
h = 14$$π$$

Anwer Is D option as 1/2*7*H= $$49\pi$$
H= $$49\pi$$*2/7
H= $$14\pi$$

We can create the equation by equating the area of the triangle and the area of the circle:

7h/2 = π7^2

7h/2 = 49π

7h = 98π

h = 14π
