Answer:


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

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

Hope this is helpful.
