A=1/2bh. To find the area of the triangle, we subtract the area of the rectangle from the total. Which would be 108 - (12x6) = 36. Now we have the area. So, 36 = 1/2bh. "b", the base is 12. So we solve for h. h = (36x2)/12 or h = 36/6, which both equal 6.
An equation is any statement that has an equal sign or its equivalent. Word such as equal, is, are, were, was, is is equal to, and result is can be used in place of the <u>(</u><u>=</u><u>)</u> symbols.
