Hey there!

A=1/2bh

14=1/2(28)h

14=14h

h=1

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

the height is 1 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is

$\frac{1}{2} \times b \times h$

where b is the base

h is the height

From the question

Area = 14in²

b = 14 inches

So we have

$14 = \frac{1}{2} \times 28 \times h$

which is

$14 = 14h$

Divide both sides by 14

That's

$\frac{14}{14} = \frac{14h}{14}$

We have the final answer as

h = 1

Therefore the height is 1 inch

Hope this helps you
