Answer 1

Given data:

base of a triangle = 24 feet

area of a triangle = 240 square feet.

To find: height of the triangle.

Thr formula for area of the triangle is,

$A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot h\cdot b$

to find the height,

$\begin{gathered} h=2\frac{A}{b} \\ =2\cdot\frac{240}{24} \\ =20 \end{gathered}$

Hence the height of the triangle is 20 feet.
