Area of a triangle

The area of a triangle of base length b and height h is:


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

We are given the area as A=22 square inches and the base length b=4 inches. We are required to find the height.

Solving for h:


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

Substituting:


h=(2\cdot22in^2)/(4in)=(44in^2)/(4in)=11in

The height is 11 inches
