Question

A triangle has an area of 156 square millimeters and a base of 16 millimeters. What is the

height?

Answer 1

Answer: Height = 19.5mm

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is the base*height/2.

We can plug in the values given for the base and area.

Therefore, 156 mm^2 = 16mm*height/2

Multiply both sides by 2:

312 mm^2 = 16mm*height

Divide both sides by 16mm:

Height = 19.5mm
