Question

a triangular flag has an area of 287.5 square inches. The base of the flag measures 25 inches . How tall is the triangular flag

Answer 1

The formula for the area of a triangle is:

Area = (1/2)(base)(height)

Since the problem is looking for the height, we can rewrite it as:

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

Then the number must be substituted in:

Height = (187.5)/((1/2)(25))


Answer: 15 inches.

Answer 2

23 inches should be the hight of the flag
