Question

The area of the triangle is 1 ⅗ square inches. If the base of the triangle is 1 ⅕ inches, what is the height?

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the triangle is 2.66666667

Formula needed is Area= base times height divided by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Personally the way I did it might be a bit harder, but. converted the fractions to decimals. 1 3/5 turns into 1.6 as the overall area of the triangle, and 1 1/5 turns into 1.2. So now that we have everything convered we need to do the exact opposite of the formula. The last step of the formula is the forst step we do, but just opposite. 1.6 as the area get multiplied by 2 to get 3.2. Then 3.2 gets divied by the base which is 1.2 to get 2.66666667 to be exact. However this can be rounded to 2.7 as well.
