Since the area of the triangle is 3200 square mm and the base length is 80 mm, then we can use the formula for the area using this information:


\begin{gathered} A=3200\operatorname{mm}^2 \\ b=80\operatorname{mm} \\ A=(b\cdot h)/(2) \\ \Rightarrow3200=(80\cdot h)/(2) \\ \Rightarrow3200=40\cdot h \\ \Rightarrow h=(3200)/(40)=80 \\ h=80\operatorname{mm} \end{gathered}

therefore, the height of the triangle is 80 mm
