Question

Write an algebraic equation to solve for the triangle’s height. Area of the triangle =36.8 inches . Height is x and base is 4.6 inches.

Answer 1

The formula to find the Height of a triangle when you have the Area and the base is H = 2 * A/b
if the Area is 36.8 then divide it by 4.6.  You get 8.  put 36.8 in calculator first, then 4.6 = 8
2 x 8 = 16...so the answer should be 16 inches.
2 is in the formula to multiply to the number you get after dividing the base into the Area.
