Answer 1

Answer:8

Explanation:

Answer 2

so normally we would be finding the area of a triangle which is a=h*b/2

but in this case we are finding the height so theirs 3 ways to do this but i prefer the basic way

20=1/2(5)h

20=2.5

8=h

and to find out if that was correct lets do 8*5=40 40/ 2 =20 so this is correct

the height is 8
