Answer

Given,

Area of ∆ABD = 24 sq. units

As ∆ABD and ∆ABC lie on same base AB and between same parallel lines AB and CD so,

Area of ∆ABC = Area of ∆ABD = 24 sq. units.

12\dfrac{1}{2} × AB × height = 24

12\dfrac{1}{2} × 8 × height = 24

⇒ 4 × height = 24

⇒ Height = 244\dfrac{24}{4}

⇒ Height = 6 units.

Hence, height of ∆ABC = 6 units.
