Question

Base: 4 in. area: 22 in

Answer 1

Area of a triangle

The area of a triangle of base length b and height h is:

`A=(b\cdot h)/(2)`

We are given the area as A=22 square inches and the base length b=4 inches. We are required to find the height.

Solving for h:

`h=(2\cdot A)/(b)`

Substituting:

`h=(2\cdot22in^2)/(4in)=(44in^2)/(4in)=11in`

The height is 11 inches
