Answer:

The height of a triangle that has an area of 30 square units and a base measuring 12 units is 5 units.

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is A=1/2bh, where b is the length of the base and h is the height.

Find the height of a triangle that has an area of 30 square units and a base measuring 12units.

A = 1/2bh

  • inverse formula

h = 2A : b

h = 30 x 2 : 12

h = 60 : 12

h = 5

---------------------

  • check

A = 1/2 bh

A = 1/2 x 12 x 5

A = 6 x 5

a = 30 units²
