Answer:


x = 8

Explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Determine the value of x

x represents the height of the triangle.

And the area of a triangle is calculated as:


Area = (1)/(2) * Base * Height

Where


Base = 4


Area = 16


Height = x

The expression becomes


16 = (1)/(2) * 4* x


16 = 2* x


16 = 2x

Divide through by 2


8 = x


x = 8
