Answer:

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 = 14inĀ²

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
