Question

If my triangles base is 1.5 inches the area is 2in. Squared what is my hieght

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the triangle is 2.7 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is:

$Area=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times\ height$

Given:

Area = 2 inches²

base = 1.5 inches

The height of the triangle is:

$Area=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times\ height\\2=\frac{1}{2}\times1.5\times\ height\\ height=\frac{2\times2}{1.5} \\=2.667\approx2.7$

Thus, height of the triangle is 2.7 in.
