Answer 1

h = 13

Explanation:

Given the area of a triangle as 84.5 .

The correct value to complete the formula to calculate for the height h is 13 .

Area of a triangle = 1/2 b x h

b = base

h = height

Using the above formula

84.5 = 1/2 x 13 x h

84.5 = 13/2 x h

84.5 = 6.5 x h

84.5 = 6.5h

Divide both sides by 6.5 to get h

84.5/6.5 = 6.5h /6.5

13 = h

h = 13
