Question

A triangle has a base of 24 inches and an area of 260 square inches. Which equation can be used to find h, the height of the triangle?

Answer 1

Answer: h=260/12

Explanation:

A=BxH/2

A=260 sq. in

260 sq. in=BxH/2

B=24 in

260sq. in=24inxH/2

Simplify

260sq. in=12inxH

Divide both sides by 12in

260/12 in = H
