Answer:


Height = 6.40cm

Explanation:

Given


Area = 40.0cm^2


Base = 12.5cm

Required

Calculate Height

Area of a triangle is:


Area = (1)/(2) * Base * Height

Substitute values for Area and Base


40 = (1)/(2) * 12.5 * Height

Multiply both sides by 2


80 = 12.5 * Height

Divide both sides by 12.5


Height = (80)/(12.5)


Height = 6.40cm
