Question

The area of a triangle is 24 square inches. What is the height of the triangle if the base length is 6 inches?

Answer 1

8 because area of a triangle is 1/2(base)(height) so we model this as:
24=(1/2)(6)(h) simplify a little so
24=3h
divide both sides by 3. so:
h=8

Answer 2

The height should be 8 because the area of a triangle is b*h/2 so 6*8= 48/2=24 so the height is 8.
