    The altitude or height of the triangle is 6 meters.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

    Area of a triangle = 60 m²

    Base = 20 m

    2. What is the altitude (h) of the triangle?

    Let's recall that the formula of the area of a triangle is:

    Area = (Base * Height) / 2

    Replacing with the real values, we have:

    60 = (20 * Height) / 2

    60 * 2 = (20 * Height) (Multiplying by 2 at both sides)

    120 = 20 Height

    Height = 120/20 = 6 meters

    The altitude or height of the triangle is 6 meters.
