Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area if a traiangle =1/2 × base × height
5 1/10 = 1/2 ×3 2/5 ×h
Change mixed fractions to improper fractions
51/10= 1/2 ×17/5 ×h
51/10 = 17/10×h
Divide 51/10 by the coefficient of h
51/10÷17/5 = h
51/10 ×5/17 = h
3/2 = h
h =1 1/2 inchea
The height of the triangle 1 1/2 inches
