Question

A sign is in the shape of a triangle. It has a base of 12 inches and an area of 120 square inches. What is the height of the sign?

Answer 1

Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation: 120 divided by 3 = 40 half of 40 is 20

Answer 2

The height is 20

Explanation:

This is because 120= .5x12

which equals 120= 6. Of course this is not equal so we do 120/6= 20.

Now if we insert 20 to check .5x12x20= 20 which makes the statement true
