Question

The area of a right triangle is 3gh. Find the height if the base is 3gh.

Area of a triangle: A = 1/2bh

Answer 1

Height = 2

Explanation:

So, I'm not sure if "gh" is a measurement. But I'm thinking it should be solved like this.

Area = 3gh

Base = 3gh

Height = ?

Plug & Chug

3gh = 1/2 (3gh)(h)

2/1 · 3gh = 1/2 (3gh)(h) · 2/1

`((2)(3gh))/((3gh)\\)` =
`((3gh)(h))/((3gh))`

h =
`((2)(3gh))/((3gh))`

h = 2

Apologies if this is wrong, but I hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer: height is 2

Explanation:

A = 1/2bh

A = 3; b (base) = 3. Substitute these values in the formula and solve.

3 = 1/2*3*h = 3/2 h

h = 3 * (2/3) = 2
