Question

The area of a triangle is 174 square inches. The base is 29 inches. What is the height in inches? Do not include units in your answer.

Answer 1

Your answer would be 6

Explanation:

Area=174

Base=29

174 divided by 29

Equals 6

6 times 29

Equals 174

So since 29 times 6 gave you 174 which is your area, your answer would be 6 since it is the missing height to your problem.

Answer 2

Answer: 12

Explanation:

We can use the formula for the area of a triangle, to help us find the height:

Area=12⋅b⋅h

Using the formula for area, we can solve for the height by plugging in the information we have about the area and the base:

174=12⋅29⋅h

Isolate h by multiplying both sides by 2 and dividing both sides by 29.

hh=2⋅17429=12

The height is 12 inches.
