Question

Determine the height of the triangle if the area is 24 square inches and the base is 12 inches.

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

We use 1/2base times height to find the area and since we already have an area we just do 24= 6h then we divide 6 on both sides and height equals 4

Answer 2

Answer: 6 inches

Step 1: Subtract 12 because 12 iches is the base.

24 - 12 = 2

Step 2: Divide 12 by 2 because triangles have two equal sides.

12 ÷ 2 = 6

Answer = 6
