Answer:
Explanation:
So first it is useful to know that the area of any right triangle is
![(1)/(2)bh](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/bpwq0idzz3bcm4vghamtwtlmc82iiome5s.png)
or:
![Area = (1)/(2)bh](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/6c63v17bd1n8hzws6985u0lnw9e79wz7w3.png)
Now we have the area and its base so we can fill in the equation:
![96 = (1)/(2) (16)h](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/39aejipm32x5gg1ezavzr1023rmfcurszv.png)
All we have to do to solve it is divide by 8 (as 16 divided by 2 is 8) so:
96/8 = 12 so the height is 12
