Answer:

C. 6 inches

Explanation:

Base = 25 inches

Area = 75 square inches

Using the formula

A = HbB/2

Solving for Hb

Hb = 2 A/b = 2 . 75/25 = 6 inches

Train · Answer 2 · 2024-12-12T14:26:43+0000

Area formula:
(base x height) / 2 = Area

(25 x height) / 2 = 75
25 x height = 75 x 2
25 x height = 150
height = 150/25

height = 6 inches
