Question

(05.05 MC) The area of a triangle is 24 square inches. What is the height of the triangle if the base length is 8 inches?

Answer 1

height: 6

formula: 1/2bh

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a triangle is given by:

`A = \frac {1} {2} b * h`

Where:

b: It's the base

h: It's the height

They tell us as data that:

`A = 24 \ in ^ 2\\b = 8in`

Substituting the data and clearing the height:

`24 = \frac {1} {2} 8 * h\\24 = 4h\\h = \frac {24} {4}\\h = 6`

So, the height of the triangle is 6in

Answer:

`h = 6in`
