Answer: x = 8

Explanation:

The area of a triangle can be found using the formula
(h*b)/(2) = Area, where

h = the height of the triangle

b = base of the triangle

In this case, the height of the triangle is x, and the base is 4, while the total area is 16
units^(2).

We can substitute that into the area equation, and we will get
(x*4)/(2) =16

1) Multiply both sides by 2

You will get x * 4 = 32

2) Divide both sides by 4

You will get x = 8

So, x will have a length of 8 units.
