Hey there, we are going to use the formula for a triangle. The formula for a triangle is A=hᵇb/2. Hₐ=2A/B=2*12/0.5=48m. Therefore, the height is 48m

area of a triangle=(base x heigth)/2

data:
base=0.5 m
area=12 m²

Therefore:
12 m²=(0.5 m x height)/2
2*12 m²=0.5 m x hegith
24 m²=0.5 m x hegith
hegith=24 m²/0.5 m
heigth=48 m

Answer: heigth=48 m
