The area of a triangle is given by the following formula:


A=(bh)/(2)

Since we are given the area and we need to find the height, we need to solve for "h". To do that we will first multiply by 2 on both sides:


2A=bh

Now we divide both sides by "b":


(2A)/(b)=h

Now we replace the known values:


(2(16))/(4)=h

Solving the operations_


8=h

Therefore, the height is 8 ft
