The area of a triangle is equal half times base times height (
A= (1)/(2) *b*h). As we need height in this situation, we can solve for height. To do this, multiply both sides by 2, 2A=bh, then divide both sides by b, (2A)/b=h. Now, plug in your known values and solve.
h= (2*8)/(1/4) =16*4=64. This means you have a height of 64 meters.
