Answer:

h = 4x ^ 3 + 18

Explanation:

The first thing you should know for this case is that the area of a triangle is given by:

A = (1/2) * (b) * (h)

Where,

b: base.

h: height.

Clearing the height we have:

h = ((2) * (A)) / (b)

Substituting the values

h = ((2) * (14x ^ 5 + 63x ^ 2)) / (7x ^ 2)

Simplifying the expression:

h = ((2) * (2x ^ 3 + 9))

h = 4x ^ 3 + 18

answer

an expression to represent its height is

h = 4x ^ 3 + 18
