Question

The formula for the area of a triangle is a = zon, where b is the length of the base and h is the height.

Find the height of a triangle that has an area of 30 square units and a base measuring 12 units.

Answer 1

The height is 5 units

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is

A = 1/2 bh where b is the base and h is the height

30 = 1/2 (12) h

30 = 6h

Divide each side by 6

30/6 = 6h/6

5 = h

The height is 5 units
