Question

Finds the height of a triangle with a base of 35 ft and an area of 262.5 ft2

Answer 1

The answer to this is that the height is equal to 15 feet. This is because to find the area of a triangle the equation is A=1/2bh. So what you have to do is do the opposite. Input the numbers into the equation 262.5= 1/2(35)h. Then multply 1/2 by 35 to get 17.5h. Next you divide each side by 17.5 and you get 15.
