Question

A triangular flag has an area of 187.5 square inches. The base of the flag measures 25 inches. How tall is the triangular flag?

Answer 1

To find the height, you would do the area divided by the base, or in this case,187.5 / 25 which equals 7.5 inches. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

15 inches
the formula for the area of a triangle is Area=(1/2)(base)(height)
since the problem is looking for the height, we can rewrite it as
Height=(Area)/((1/2)(Base))
then the number must be substituted in
Height=(187.5)/((1/2)(25))
and the answer is 15 inches.
