Question

Find the missing dimension of the triangle.

Answer 1

h =
`2(2)/(3)` or 2.67

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is found by:
`A =(1)/(2)bh`

Solving for h, we get...

`h = (2a)/(b)`

or

`h = (2(2))/(1.5)`

so h =
`2(2)/(3)` or 2.67

Answer 2

Answer: h = 2.7in (2.6666 if you don't round)

Step-by-step explanation: area of a triangle is 1/2bh

b= 1.5

1/2 * 1.5 * h = 2

1/2 = .5

multiply 1/2 and 1.5

.5 * 1.5 = .75

.75 * h = 2

divide by .75 on both sides

.75 / 2 = 2.6666

h = 2.7in ( rounded)
