Question

The area of the triangle is 80.5, the base is 14, what is the height

Answer 1

Answer: 11.5

Explanation:

The formula for finding area of triangle is given by :

Area =
`(1)/(2)` x base x height

From the question :

Area = 80.5

base = 14

height = ?

substituting into the formula , we have

80.5 =
`(1)/(2)` x 14 x height

80.5 = 7x height

divide through by 7 , that is

height = 80 . 5 / 7

height = 11.5
