Question

The formula for the area of a triangle is A= 1/2bh. Solve the formula for h. If the
of triangle is 48 cm", and its base measures 12 cm, what is the height of
the triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1) so we have to solve for "h", this means we have to mover everything else to the other side so

formula of a triangle: (bh)/2=a

                                    bh=2a

(since b and h are being multiplied together we need to divide)                                                 h=(2a)/b

now that we have our formula for height, we need to use it to find height

so

h=2*48/12

h=96/12

h=8

the height is 8 cm

Hop this helps!
