Question

The area of a triangle is 18 square feet. If the base is 3 feet, what is the height of the triangle?

Answer 1

Hello again!

The area of a triangle is A=1/2*b*h where b is base and h is height.

Since we have the area and base, we can set up an equation to find h and get the height:

18=1/2*3*h

6=1/2*h

12=h

So the height of the triangle is 12 feet.
