I believe the formula to find the height would be h= 2a/b and if you use that formula and plug in the area (21.7) of each triangle as well as the base (6) then you would get a height of 7.2 cm. I hope this is correct! :)
If he once traveled 36 hours and he takes 6 hour trips you do 10x3=30 so every six hours he takes 30 minute brakes then 36 divided by 6 equlas 6 you would do 30x6= the answer!!! (Btw i do 6th grade math)
