Answer: 432

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle:


A=
(H*B)/(2)

Substitute area and base:


1296 = (H*6)/(2)

Multiply by the denominator to eliminate the fraction:


2*1296 = (H*6)/(2) *2\\


2592=H*6

Inverse operations to isolate the variable:


(2592)/(6) =H


H = 432

Height is 432
