Explanation:

Answer 2

`hright =12`

Explanation:

----------------------------------------

The formula to find the area of a triangle is
`A=(1)/(2)bh` where
`b` stands for the base and
`h` stands for the height.

But we already know the area and the base. So to find the height, let's substitute 72 for
`A` and 12 for
`b`, and solve.

`72=(1)/(2)(12)(h)`

`72=6h`

Here, divide both sides by 6

`12=h`
