Question

The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2bh. Solve the formula for h. If the

area of a triangle is 48 cm², and its base measures 12 cm, what is the height of
the triangle?

Answer 1

The height of Triangle is 8 cm

Explanation:

Given as :

The area of triangle = 48 cm²

The measure of base = 12 cm

Let the height of triangle = h cm

Now The Area of Triangle =
`(1)/(2)` × base × height

Or, 48 cm² =
`(1)/(2)` × 12 cm × h

Or, 48 × 2 = 12 cm × h

∴ h =
`(96)/(12)`

I.e h = 8 cm

Hence The height of Triangle is 8 cm Answer

Answer 2

Explanation:

1/2bh = A

h = A *2 / b

h = 48 * 2 / 12

h = 4 * 2

h = 8 cm
