Question

The area of a triangle is 14 square inches. The base is 28 inches. What is the height in inches? Do not include units in your answer.

Answer 1

Hey there!

A=1/2bh

14=1/2(28)h

14=14h

h=1

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

the height is 1 inch

Explanation:

Area of a triangle is

`(1)/(2) * b * h`

where b is the base

h is the height

From the question

Area = 14in²

b = 14 inches

So we have

`14 = (1)/(2) * 28 * h`

which is

`14 = 14h`

Divide both sides by 14

That's

`(14)/(14) = (14h)/(14)`

We have the final answer as

h = 1

Therefore the height is 1 inch

Hope this helps you
