Answer:

H=10

Explanation:

First, let's find the area of the rectangle:

L*W

the length is 3 and the height is 10 so substitute and you get:

10*3 = 30

now let's find what the area of the triangle should be:

B*H/2 =30(because the area is the same)

the base is 6 and the height is unknown, now lets fully substitute:

6H/2=30

3H=30

H=10

Hope this helps :)

Answer: 30

Step-by-step explanation: I think the height of the triangle is 30 cm because the rectangle has dimensions of 3 cm and 10 cm so I multiplied that which equals 30 then I thought 6 x 5 = 30 so 30 cm

btw, if i'm wrong please don't get mad, i'm trying my best lol
