Answer:


\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{11.3 \: mm}}}

Explanation:


\underline{ \sf Given} :


\star{ \sf{ \: Base \: of \: a \: triangle \: (b) \: = 6.3 \: mm}}


\star{ \sf{ \: Area \: of \: a \: triangle \: (a) = 35.595 \: {mm}^(2) }}


\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: height \: of \: a \: triangle \: be \: h}}


\underline{ \underline{ \sf{ \: Finding \: the \: height \: of \: a \: triangle}}} :


\boxed{ \sf{Area \: of \: a \: triangle = (1)/(2) * base \: * \: height}}


\sf{Plug \: the \: values}


\mapsto{ \sf{35.595 = (1)/(2) * 6.3 * h}}


\mapsto{ \sf{35.595 = (6.3h)/(2) }}


\sf{Apply \: cross \: product \: property}


\mapsto{ \sf 6.3h = 35.595 * 2}


\mapsto{ \sf{6.3h = 71.19}}


\sf{Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 6.3}


\mapsto{ \sf{ (6.3h)/(6.3) = (71.19)/(6.3)}}


\mapsto{ \sf{h = 11.3 \: mm}}

The height of a triangle = 11.3 mm

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

Explanation:

formula used is height= area×3/base

35.595×2/6.3

71.19/6.3

11.3mm2 is the answer
