The area of a triangle can be calculated using the following equation:

A = 1/2 (B x H)

Where B is the dimension of the base and H is the height of the triangle.

Since the area is known and the dimension of the base is also known, substitute the values into the equation to find the height:

3.6 cm2 = 1/2 (6 cm) (H)

Solving yields an answer of 1.2 cm. Hence the height is 1.2 cm.
