Question

The area of the isosceles triangle is 44 square centimeters. Use the Equation 1/2(8h)=44 to find the height of the triangle.

Answer 1

area of the issoceles triangle = 44 cm²

or, 1/2 (8h) = 44

or, 8h = 2*44

or, h = 88/8

therefore, h = 11cm

Answer 2

Answer:  The height of the triangle is 11 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to solve the equation given for h.

1/2(8h) =44

Multiplying each side by 2:

(2)1/2(8h) =44 (2)

8h = 88

Dividing each side by 8:

8h/8 = 88/8

h = 11

So, the height of the triangle is 11 centimeters.
