Answer 1

Given data:

base of a triangle = 24 feet

area of a triangle = 240 square feet.

To find: height of the triangle.

Thr formula for area of the triangle is,

`A=(1)/(2)\cdot h\cdot b`

to find the height,

`\begin{gathered} h=2(A)/(b) \\ =2\cdot(240)/(24) \\ =20 \end{gathered}`

Hence the height of the triangle is 20 feet.
