Determine the height of the triangle if the area is 24 square inches and the base is 12 inches. Which formula did you use and why ?

Answer 1

4 inches

Explanation:

Since height, h, is the unknown, use the formula from part C to find the height:

h = 2A/b

= 2(24 square inches) / 12 inches

This formula for the height is the easiest to use because all that’s required is to substitute the values for the area (24) and base (12) and solve. So, the height of the triangle is 4 inches.

= 4 inches

Answer 2

the height is 4, because 12 times 4 equals 48 times 1/2 is 24. the formula is A=1/2bh
