Answer 1

In this question, it is given that

A triangle has a height of 8 feet and an area of 48 square feet.

Let the base is represented by b feet .

And the formula of area of triangle is

$A = \frac{1}{2} bh$

Substituting the given values, we will get

$48 = \frac{1}{2} *8*h$

$48 = 4h \\ h = 12 feet$

So the height of the triangle is 12 feet .
