Question

Triangle area = 16 ft²B = 4ftH = ?

Answer 1

The area of a triangle is given by the following formula:

$A=\frac{bh}{2}$

Since we are given the area and we need to find the height, we need to solve for "h". To do that we will first multiply by 2 on both sides:

$2A=bh$

Now we divide both sides by "b":

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

Now we replace the known values:

$\frac{2(16)}{4}=h$

Solving the operations_

$8=h$

Therefore, the height is 8 ft
