Answer 1

12 inches

Explanation:

Area =
`(1)/(2)bh`

24 =
`(1)/(2) * 4 * h`

24 = 2h

h = 12 inches

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

12 inches

Explanation:

The area is given by the formula ...

A = 1/2bh

Fill in the given values and solve for the height.

24 in² = 1/2(4 in)h

h = (24 in²)/(2 in) = 12 in

The height of the triangle is 12 inches.
