Answer:

x=8

Explanation:

Area is equal to half of the base times the height. We are told that the area is 32and the base is 8, so we can write this equation:

32=1/2(8)h

Multiply 1/2 by 8:

32=4h

Divide both sides by 4:

h=8

So now we know that x (the height) equals 8.

HTH :)

Answer:

8

Explanation:

If the area is 32 and the formula for area of a triangle is base * height / 2, and you have base = 8 and height = x and area = 32, this would be:

8 * x / 2 = 32

Now, solve:


8x/2=32\\4x=32\\x=8
