Answer:

The height of the triangle is 2.7 in.

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is:

$Area=(1)/(2)* base*\ height$

Given:

Area = 2 inches²

base = 1.5 inches

The height of the triangle is:

$Area=(1)/(2)* base*\ height\\2=(1)/(2)*1.5*\ height\\ height=(2*2)/(1.5) \\=2.667\approx2.7$

Thus, height of the triangle is 2.7 in.
