Solution:

Notice that the formula for the area of a triangle is given by :

$A=\frac{b\text{ x h}}{2}$

Where b is the base of the triangle, and h is the base of the triangle. Then, replacing the data given in the problem, we get the following equation:

$88=\frac{11\text{h}}{2}$

Now, by cross -multiplication we get:

$88\text{ x 2 = 11 h}$

this is equivalent to :

$176\text{ = 11h}$

solving for h, we get:

$h\text{ = }(176)/(11)\text{ = 16}$

then, we can conclude that the height of the triangle is

$h\text{ = 16}$
