Question

Find the height of a triangle with an area of 245 square inches and a base of 14 inchesn

Answer 1

So lets start by substituting these numbers into the equation for the area of a triangle. A=1/2bh. So 245=1/2*14*h. Now you just have to solve it like a simple algebraic equation. Start by taking 14*1/2. So now we have 245=7h. Now divide by 7. 245/7 is 35. 1/2*14*35=245. So the height is 35 inches.

Answer 2

The height is 35 inches

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is

A = 1/2 bh

We know the area is 245 and the base is 14

245 = 1/2 (14)*h

245 = 7h

Divide each side by 7

245/7 =7h/7

35 =h

The height is 35 inches
