  12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2bh

Fill in the given values and solve for the height.

  24 in² = 1/2(4 in)h

  h = (24 in²)/(2 in) = 12 in

The height of the triangle is 12 inches.

Answer 2

Answer:

Area = $\frac{1}{2}bh$

24 = $\frac{1}{2} * 4 * h$

24 = 2h

h = 12 inches
