Question

The formula for the area of a triangle is a = bh, where b is the length of the base and h is the height. the equation solved for h is h = . find the height of a triangle that has an area of 30 square units and a base measuring 12 units. 3 units 5 units 8 units 9 units

Answer 1

Actually, the area of a triangle is a = bh/2. If a = 30 and b = 12:
$30 = \frac{12h}{2}$
$30=6h$
$h=5$
So he height is 5 units
