Answer: Height is 5 units.

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The area of the triangle is
A=(1)/(2) * b * h

The area is given as 30

The base is given as 12

Plugging the values in formula


30=(1)/(2) * 12* h


30=6* h

Dividing 6 in both sides


(30)/(6)=(6* h)/(6)


5=h


h=5

Hence the height of the triangle is 5 units.........Answer
