Answer:

x = 8

Explanation:

The area of a triangle can be determined using:

A = (1/2)*b*h

Given the base length and area, we can solve for the height, or in this case, x.

32 = (1/2)*8*h (Simplify the RHS)

32 = 4*h (Divide both sides by 4)

8 = h

x = 8 (since h was the height, represented by x)
