Question

The area of a triangle is 22 yd with a base of 8 years. What is the height, in yards?

Answer 1

The height is 5.5 yards. In order to calculate the area of a triangle you want to multiply the base and the height, and divide the answer into 1/2 or 2. This will give you your answer.


1/2 8*22=5.5

Answer 2

The area of a triangle can be found using the formula 1/2*b*h

We can substitute what we know in now, 22 = 1/2*8*h

22 = 4*h
22 = 4*5.5

The answer would be 5.5 yards

I hope this helps!
