Answer:

The height of the triangle is
6 cm.

Explanation:

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

The formula for solving the area of a triangle is
A=(1)/(2)bh where
b stands for base and
h stands for height.

Let's substitute 30
cm^2 for the area and 10 for the base.


30=(1)/(2) (10)h

-------------------->>>>

Now, let's solve to find the height.


30=(1)/(2)(10)h

Multiply
(1)/(2) times
10


30=5h

Divide both sides by 5.


6=h

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

Hope this is helpful.
