Answer:

The height of the triangle is 5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

where, b is the length of base and h is the height of the triangle.

The equation solved for h is

$h=\frac{2A}{b}$

The area of triangle is 30 square units and length of base is 12 units.

$h=\frac{2\times 30}{12}$

$h=5$

Therefore the height of the triangle is 5 units.
