The height would be 70 in squared. First find the area of the triangle. 5*8/2= 20.

We know the volume is 140=20x. If we isolate the x by dividing by both sides, you can get 70 as the height.

The height would be 7cm because the area of the base (the triangle face) is 20cm². You would then divide the volume by the area of the base to get the height. 140/20=7cm
Hope this helped!
